When you are unsure of how to take a picture

that you envision, refer to the information below.

Focusing

"Focusing on the subject"

• Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the screen

After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 14)

AF lock (p. 18)

• Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult

In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot and take the picture.

Subjects with low contrast

When extremely bright objects

appear in the center of the

screen

When objects are at different

distances

Fast-moving object

The subject is not in the

center of the frame

"Taking pictures without camera shake"

® Taking pictures using ((_J})mode (p. 18) ® Taking picture with [_, SPORT] (p. 17)

Since you can take pictures with a high shutter

speed by setting [_ SPORT], it's also effective for

blurry subjects.

® Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity

If a high tSO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations

where a flash cannot be used.

[ISO] (p. 25)

Object with no vertical lines n

n It is also effective to compose the shot by holding

the camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.

Page 45

"Taking pictures with the right brightness"

• Taking pictures using [FACE DETECT] (p. 27) Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face

against the backlight, and the face is brightened.

• Taking pictures using [FILL iN] (p. 20) flash

A subject against a backlight is brightened.

• Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 21)

Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen

for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images

that are darker than the actual subject. Use the

[] button to adjust in the positive direction to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative direction.

"Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear"

• Taking pictures by selecting [WB] (p. 25) Best results in most environments can normally

be obtained with the AUTO setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky,mixed natural and artificial light settings, and so on.)

"Taking sharper pictures"

• Taking pictures with the optical zoom Avoid using [DIGITAL ZOOM] (p. 25) to take

pictures.

• Taking pictures at a low leO sensitivity If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity,

noise (small colored spots and color unevenness

that were not inthe original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy.
