Hi there: Not sure how you missed it since you posted to this thread....it's back at the beginning....... 1. Hold camera firmly in left hand 2. Smartly rap front of camera with knuckles of right hand on the "Cyber-shot" logo. Let us know how you fare...It's apparently worked for about 62 folks who've taken the time to reply.......Countless others that didn't.......... Happy Holidays! Regards, Bob Allen
