Shooting tips ;
IFocusing
on
the subject
There are several
ways
to
focus, depending on
the
subject.
When the subject is not in the center
of
the frame
• Place the subject
in
the center of the frame, lock the focus
on
the subject, and then
recompose your picture.
• Set [AF MODE] to [iESP).
~
"AF MODE Changing the focusing area"
(P.29)
The subject is moving quickly
• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you want to
shoot and lock the focus (by pressing the shutter button halfway). Then recompose your
picture and press the shutter button completely
as
the subject enters the frame.
Subjects that are difficult to focus on
• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus.
Subject without vertical
lines
The subject is not
in
the
center
of
the frame
Fast-moving subject
Subject with an extremely
bright area in the center
of
the frame
Subjects at different
distances
Subject with low contrast
In
these cases, focus (focus lock)
on
an object with high contrast at the same distance as
the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the picture. If the subject has no
vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the camera using the focus lock function
by pressing the shutter button halfway, and then return the camera to the horizontal position
while keeping the button pressed halfway and take the picture.
Prevent blur by using image stabilization
Be
sure to hold the
camera
firmly with both hands and press
the
shutter
button slowly
so
as
to
avoid
moving
the
camera.
You
can reduce
the
blur
when
shooting
the
picture in
(~)
mode.

more
likely
to
be blurry when:

Le.
using both optical zoom and digital
zoom functions,
• the object is dark and the shutter speed is slow, or
• scene modes where the flash
is
turned off and/or the shutter speed is slow.
