Shooting tips
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. 21)
●
Using face priority (p. 44)
●
Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 36)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
●
Positioning the focus point
“Choosing a focus target” (p. 37)
●
Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus
is diffi cult
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

Camera shake
“Taking pictures without camera shake”
Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (p. 49)
●
Using the C (Sport) option in SCN mode
●
(p. 31)
The C (Sport) mode uses a fast shutter speed
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving
subject.
●
Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can
be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations
where a fl ash cannot be used.
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 39)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”
●
Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 37) fl ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
●
Taking pictures using exposure compensation
(p. 38)
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 exposure
compensation 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.
74
EN
Page 75
Color hue
“Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as
they appear”
Taking pictures by selecting white balance
●
(p. 40, 46)
Best results in most environments can normally
be obtained with the [WB 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
artifi cial light settings, and so on.)
Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”
●
Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 22, 49) to take
pictures.
●
Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity,
noise (small colored spots and color unevenness
that were not in the original image) can occur, and
the image can appear grainy. The resulting image
is grainier than with low ISO sensitivity as well.
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 39)
Batteries
“Making batteries last longer”

Avoid any of the following operations when not
actually taking pictures because they deplete
the battery power

Monitor
Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may
•
become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure or damage
to the monitor.
84
EN
Static images displayed on organic EL monitors for extended
•
periods of time may “burn in”, causing a drop in brightness
or discoloration in some areas of the display, which may be
permanent in some cases. This phenomenon has no effect on
images recorded with the camera.
A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but
•
this is not a malfunction.
When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the
•
edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a
malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.
Although the monitor is manufactured using high-precision
•
technology, some pixels may always be lit or may never light,
