Taking a Photo Using the FC-2500
P/N 7010-0910

Outdoor When taking pictures outdoors, select Daylight or Cloudy in
the Light Condition setting.
• When working in bright sunlight, avoid taking pictures if glare
appears on the viewfinder (such as taking pictures of windshields
or windows) by slightly moving the FC-2500 up and down or side
to side until you find a good angle that produces little or no glare.
• Pay attention to the sun! If the sun is shining from the side or in
front of you, you may end up with extreme dark and light areas.
• Standing with the sun behind you may eliminate extreme light
and dark, but could produce glare on shiny objects. Try different
locations around your subject to find the ‘sweet spot’.
• In extremely bright sun, you may need to block the screen with
your hand for better visibility.
The photograph in Figure 1-22 is overexposed. The detail in the
wheel is lost and there are areas where the light is so bright that
features are lost. Notice the seam of the door above the wheel. It
seems to disappear.
When this picture was taken, the sun was behind the FC-2500.
