ITaking stabilized pictures without the flash
The
flash is activated
automatically
when
there
is insufficient light,
or
when
the
camera
is
shaken.
To
take
pictures with
no
flash in
dark
places,
set
the
flash
mode
to
[(I)] and
set
as
follows:
Increase the [ISO] setting

IThe picture
is
too grainy
There
are several factors
that
can
cause
the picture to
appear
grainy.
Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures
• With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater the
magnification, the grainier the picture appears.
Il@f
"DIGITAL ZOOM Zooming
in
on
your subject"
(P.28)
Increasing the ISO sensitivity
• When you increase the
[ISOJ
setting, "noise", which appears as spots of unwanted color or
unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the picture a grainy appearance. This
camera is equipped with a function to allow shooting at high sensitivity while suppressing
noise; however, increasing the ISO sensitivity can result
in
some noise, depending
on
the
shooting conditions.

"ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity"
(P.28)
ITaking pictures with the correct color
• The reason why there are sometimes differences between the actual colors and the colors
recorded
in
a picture is related to the light source illuminating the subject.
[WBJ
is the
function that helps the camera determine the true colors. Normally, the [AUTO] setting
provides the optimal white balance, but depending
on
the subject, results may be better if
you manually adjust the
[WBJ
setting.
• When the subject
is
in the shade
on
a sunny day
• When the subject is illuminated by both natural light and indoor lighting, such as when
near a window
• When there is no white
in
the center of the frame

"WB Adjusting the color
of
a picture"
(P.27)
ITaking pictures
of
a white beach or snow scene
• Take pictures with [JA
in
SCN mode. Suitable for taking pictures
on
a sunny day at the
beach or
in
the snow.
Il@f
"SCN (Scene) Selecting a scene mode according to the shooting situation"
(P.26)
• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) tum out darker than their natural colors. Use
61B
to
adjust toward
[+J
to make these subjects closer to their true shades. Conversely, when you
are shooting dark subjects, it can be effective to adjust toward the [-J. Sometimes, using the
flash may not produce the brightness (exposure) that was intended.

(P.

Misalignment of panoramic pictures
• Panning along the camera central axis reduces picture misalignment. When you shoot close
subjects, panning along the axis
of
the lens gives good results.
•
In
[COMBINE
IN
CAMERA1J mode, the camera automatically detects its own position
except for the following cases (In such cases, use [COMBINE
IN
CAMERA
2J
or [COMBINE
IN
PC).):
• Camera moves too fast, or the camera was not moved along a straight line.
• Subject with low contrast (the whole screen is filled with the sky, etc.).
• A moving subject is taking up most of the screen.
• Camera is moved while processing.
