Shooting tips

Focusing on the subject

There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.

When the subject is not in the center of the frame

• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and then recompose your picture.

g“Shutter button Shooting pictures” (P.10)

The subject is moving quickly

• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you want to shoot and lock the focus (by pressing the shutter button halfway). Then recompose your picture and press the shutter button completely as the subject enters the frame.

• Select j from f to shoot pictures.

g“f Shooting pictures by selecting a scene mode according to the situation”

(P.11)

Subjects that are difficult to focus on

• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. The green lamp on the monitor lights, allowing you to check if the focus is locked.

The green lamp blinks. The subject cannot be brought into focus.

The green lamp lights, but the subject cannot be brought into focus.

In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same distance as the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the picture. If the subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the camera using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button halfway, and then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take the picture.

Taking pictures without blurring

Hold the camera in a correct posture and press the shutter button slowly. You can reduce the blurring by shooting the picture in h mode.

g“h Shooting pictures using digital image stabilization” (P.11)

The factors that can cause the picture to blur are as follows:

• Images are shot using a zooming function of high magnification.

• The object is dark and the shutter speed is slow.

• The flash cannot be used or when a low shutter speed shooting mode is selected.

Taking pictures without the flash

The flash is activated automatically when there is insufficient light and the camera is shaken. To take pictures without using the flash even when it is dark, set the flash mode to [$] (FLASH OFF).

The picture is too grainy

There are several factors that can cause the picture to appear grainy.

Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures

• With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater the magnification, the grainier the picture appears.

Shooting pictures with the mode dial set to M, or the f mode set to WSX

• When shooting pictures in the above modes, the picture may appear grainy if the subject is dark.
