"Taking pictures with colors at the same
shade as they appear"
• Taking pictures by selecting [WB] (p. 25)
Best results in most environments can normally
be obtained with the AUTO setting, but for some
subjects, you should try experimenting with
different settings. (This is especially true for
sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and
artificial light settings, and so on.)
e Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 19) flash
Use of the flash is also effective for shooting under
fluorescent and other artificial lighting.
Taking sharper pictures
• Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 19) to take pictures.
• Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity,
noise (small colored spots and color unevenness
that were not in the original image) can occur, and
the image can appear grainy. The resulting image
is grainier than with tow ISO sensitivity as well.
