Taking pictures focusing on both subject and the
background
For example, if you want to take a picture with a beautiful background when
you are on travel, you will want to have both your subject and the background
in focus.
Your camera offers two different ways of achieving this effect.
m 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.
m Set the mode dial to “A”, then set the
aperture manually to a higher value.
(p.87)
Increasing the value forces your camera to
focus over a wider range to the
forward/backward directions, resulting in a
picture in which both the subject and the
background are in focus.
Taking close-up pictures
When you want to take a picture from a very
short range — for example, if your subject is
insects or flowers — use the “ ” mode
(p.90). This allows you to get as close as 4
inches in maximum to your subject (when the
zoom lever is set to “W” to the maximum
position).
Set the zoom lever to “W” to capture your
object in even more detail.
