"Taking

pictures"
• Taking
pictures
with
the
optical
zoom
Avoid using [DIGITAL ZOOM] (p. 33) 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. This camera
is
provided with [NOISE REDUCT.] (p. 38), but
when the ISO sensitivity is increased, the resulting
image
is
grainier than with low ISO sensitivities.

Panorama
"Taking

• A
tip
for
panoramic
shooting
Taking pictures by pivoting with the camera at the
center prevents shifting of the image. When taking
pictures
of
close objects
in
particular, pivoting with
the lens end at the center produces favorable
results.
