How to use · With its compact body and telephoto reach, this model is easy to carry as an everyday camera for travel or walks. Pairing it with a spare battery and a UHS-I-compatible SD card makes it easier to use.

Watchouts · There is no EVF, so shooting is limited to using the rear monitor. The 1/2.3-inch sensor has limitations in high-ISO performance and achieving strong background blur, and the camera is not dust- or splash-resistant.
