A guide to functions for different subjects Using live view • You may not be able to select a good angle while looking at the viewfinder. As the LCD monitor of this device is a full-angle view, using the live view function together with the LCD monitor makes it easier to view and take pictures instead of the viewfinder. Changing lenses When the blooming flowers are few and sparse, set the lens to extender to take the picture. A picture taken with extender will appear as though the flowers are blooming thickly and the distance seen is closer. Using telescopic feature of the zoom lens also achieves the same effect but it is easier to achieve the effect when the focus distance is longer such as 150 mm or 200 mm, rather than 54 mm. g"A: Aperture priority shooting" (P. 30), "Live view" (P. 36), "Preview function" (P. 38), "Exposure compensation k Varying the image brightness" (P. 75), "White balance k Adjusting the color tone" (P. 79) Taking night scene pictures There are different types of night scenes, ranging from the afterglow of a sunset to city lights at night. Sunset and fireworks sceneries are also a type of night scene. 10 Using a tripod A tripod is a must when shooting night scenes as the shutter speed is slow due to the darkness. Even when a tripod is not available, you should also place the camera on a stable ground such that it does not shake. Even when the camera is secured, you may also move the camera when pressing the shutter button. Hence, use the remote control or self timer to activate the shutter as far as possible.
