Taking pictures under different conditions Taking portrait pictures A portrait-style photograph features an in-focus subject against a blurred background. Your camera offers two different ways of achieving this effect. Ⅵ With the mode dial set to "S-Prg", select "S-Prg"-" " in the Menu (P. 86). Focus on the subject. Exposure is adjusted automatically according to the 4 conditions. Ⅵ Set the mode dial to "A", then manually set the aperture to a lower value. (P. 87) By decreasing the aperture value, you will force the camera to focus within a smaller range, producing a picture with a blurred background. Taking pictures of moving subjects If the subject of your photograph is moving quickly - such as athletes in a sports scene or fast-moving vehicles, you can adjust the shutter speed to capture the action without blurring or to heighten the sense of movement by blurring the action. To capture fast-moving action precisely without blurring, set the shutter speed to higher value. On the other hand, if you want your photograph to have a sense of motion, set the shutter speed to a lower value. This will blur the main subject, while the background remains clear. Your camera offers two different ways of achieving these effects. Ⅵ With the mode dial set to "S-Prg", select "S-Prg"-" " in the Menu (p.86). Focus on the subject. Exposure is adjusted automatically according to the conditions. Ⅵ Set the mode dial to "S", then select the shutter speed manually (p.88). 88
