Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture
that you envision, refer to the information below.
Focusing
“Focusing on the subject”
Taking a picture of a subject not in the center
of the screen
After focusing on an object at the same distance
as the subject, compose the shot, and take the
picture.
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 14)
Set [AF MODE] (p. 30) to [FACE/iESP]
Taking a picture in [AF TRACKING] mode
(p. 30)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
Taking a picture of a shadowy subject
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier.
[AF ILLUMINAT.] (p. 32)
Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus
is diffi cult
In the following cases, after focusing on an object
(by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with
high contrast at the same distance as the subject,
compose the shot, and take the picture.
Subjects with low contrast
When extremely bright objects
appear in the center of the
screen
Object with no vertical lines

It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the
camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the
horizontal position to take the picture.

Taking pictures using [IMAGE STABILIZER]
(p. 32)
When a picture is taken of a shadowy subject, the
CCD

shifts to correct for camera shake even if
the ISO speed is not increased. This function is
also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom
magnifi cation.
*1
A device that takes light received through the
lens and converts it into electric signals.
Shooting movies using [IS MOVIE MODE]
(p. 32)
Select C (SPORT) in the scene mode (p. 20)
The C (SPORT) mode uses a fast shutter speed
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving
subject.
Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can
be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations
where a fl ash cannot be used.
