A guide to functions for different subjects Using exposure compensation When shooting a picture with background, select a background that will bring out the shape and color of the flower. A simple background will bring out the subject. When shooting bright and whitish flowers, adjust exposure compensation to (minus) so that the flower stands out from the dark background. Changing shooting mode The method to capture a subject changes according to the type of subject you wish to emphasize, be it a field or a bunch of flowers. To change the focus area, set to A (aperture priority shooting) mode and select the aperture value. • When you open the aperture (decrease the aperture value), the camera will focus within a shorter range (shallow depth of field), producing an emphasized subject with a blurred background. • When you close the aperture (increase the aperture value), the camera will focus over a wider range (more depth of field), producing a picture with clear focus. You can use the preview function to confirm the changes in the depth of field when the aperture is changed. 10 Getting to know your camera better 145
