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. 14) ● Set [AF MODE] (p. 26) to [iESP] ● Taking a picture in [AF TRACKING] mode (p. 26) The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously. ● Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult 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 When extremely bright objects appear in the center of the screen Object with no vertical lines*1 *1 It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture. When objects are at different distances Fast-moving object The subject is not in the center of the frame Camera shake "Taking pictures without camera shake" ● Taking pictures using h mode (p. 18) ● Select j (SPORT) in s mode (p. 17) The j (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 flash cannot be used. [ISO] (p. 24) Exposure (brightness) "Taking pictures with the right brightness" ● Taking pictures using [FACE DETECT] (p. 26) Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened. ● Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 19) flash A subject against backlight is brightened. ● Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 20) 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 F button 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. 44 EN
