Tap the Touchscreen with a Stylus

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the

display. Never use an actual pen, pencil or sharp object to write on the

touch screen.

the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. Firmly press the

stylus into the stylus holder on the MX5 when the stylus is not in use.
