Basictechniquesfor betterimages

This section describes the hasics so you can enjoy your camera. It tells you how to use

various camera functions such as the HOME screen {page 39), the menus (page 41 ), and so

on.

To shoot a slill image difficult Io focus on _ [Focus] (page 31) If the image looks blurred even after focusing, it may be because of camera shake. _ See

"Hints for preventing blur" (as follows;).

Hintsfor preventingblur

The camera moved accidentally when _ou took the picture. This is called "C:nnera shake." On the other hand. if the subject moved when you took the picture, it is called "subject

blur."

Camerashake

Cause

Your hands or body shake while you hold tile

Catllelu and press tile sbuuer button, alld tile enlh'c

screen is blurred.

What you can do to reduce the blurring

• Use a tripod or place tile camera on a flat, stable surlace to hoM tile cmnel"a steady.

• Shoot with a 2-second delay sell-tinier and stabilize your cmllera by holding your shooting

ann firmly at your side after ,mvssing tile shuuer

button.

Subjectblur

Cause

E_en though tile CUlnera is steady, the subjecl

lno_/es durillg tile exposure so tile subject looks

blulred when tile shutter button is pressed.

Notes

The anti-blur hmction is enabled in tile hactory delault seUings so that tile camera shake is reduced automatically. However, this is not ellcctive lor su_!iect blur.

Besides, camera shake and subject blur occur hequently under low-light or slow slmtter speed condl ions, such as hose encoun ered m ._ (Twdlgh) or m (Twfllgh Pot rm ) mode. In lla ca_,

sllool wilh lhe above tips in mind.

What you can do to reduce the blurring

• Select N_O (High Sensilivity) mode in Scene

Selection.

• Select a higher ISO sensilivity to nlake tile shuuer speed luster, and press file shuuer buuon

Adjustingthelight intensity

Exposure:

Underexposure

= too little light Darker image

Shutter speed = Length of time the camera receives

Aperture = Size of the opening allowing light to pass

ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)

= Recurding seusitivit_

The expusure is automatically set tu the pruper value in the auto adjustment mode.

However, you can adjust it manually using

the l)mctions below.

Adjusting EV:

Alluws you tu adjust the exposure determined by the camera (pages 24, 34).

Metering Mode:

Allows you to change the part of the subject to be measured tu determine the exposure (page 33).

Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)

IS() sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity. To adjust the ISO sensitivity, see page 34.

High ISO sensitivity

Records a bright image even when shooting in a dark location, reducing blur with a high shutter speed. However. the image tends to become noisy.

Low ISO sensitivity

Records a smoother image. However. when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker.

Example: The color ol an image alfected by light sources

Daylight Cloudy Fluorescent Incandescent

White (standard) Bluish Green-tinged Reddish

The color tones are acUusted automatically in the auto adjustment mode. However, you can ac[iust color tones manually with [White Balance] (page 49).
