Taking

(po

Brightness is matched with a subject in the center
of
the screen and the image is not affected by
background light.

flash
A subject against the backlight is brightened.
• Taking
pictures
of
a
white
beach
or
snow
scene
Set
the mode to [[1-, BEACH &
SNOW]
(p. 28)
• Taking
pictures
using
exposure
compensation
(p.20)
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for
taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white
subjects (such as snow) results in images that are
darker than the actual subject. Use the
IB
button to
adjust in the positive direction to express whites
as
they appear.
When taking pictures
of
black subjects, on the
other
hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative direction.

"Taking

natural

• Taking
pictures
by
selecting
[WB]
(p. 26)
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.)
"Taking
sharper
pictures"
• Taking
pictures
with
the
optical
zoom
Avoid using [DIGITAL
ZOOM]
(p. 27) 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.

Panorama
"Taking
pictures
so
that
the
frames
are
stitched
smoothly"
• 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.
Batteries
"Making

any
of
the
following
operations
when
not
actually
taking
pictures
because
they
deplete

• Repeatedly pressing the shutter button halfway
