PRELIMINARY STEPS

A TT ACHING THE STRAP

Slip the thin cord on the carrying strap through the strap lug on the side of the camera leaving a loop. Slide the thick part of the strap through this loop and pull tight. Take up any slack to make sure the strap is securely attached to the camera.
Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or similar electronic products. These straps are usually too light to hold your camera securely. Use straps designed for cameras for safety.
