Camera shake
“Taking pictures without camera shake”
Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (p. 42)
The image pickup device*

shifts to correct for
camera shake even if the ISO sensitivity is not
increased. This function is also effective when
taking pictures at a high zoom magni cation.
*1
A device that takes light received through the
lens and converts it into electric signals.
Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode] (p. 42)
Select [C Sport] in the scene mode (p. 25)
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 ash cannot be used.
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 34)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”
Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot
against backlight.
[Shadow Adjust] (p. 41)
Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 41)
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against
backlight, and the face is brightened.
Taking pictures using [n] for [ESP/n]
(p. 41)
Brightness is matched with a subject in the center
of the screen and the image is not affected by
background light.
Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 32) ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene
Set the mode to [q Beach & Snow] (p. 25)
Taking pictures using exposure compensation
(p. 33)
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 exposure
compensation 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.
Color hue
“Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as
they appear”
Taking pictures by selecting white balance
(p. 34)
Best results in most environments can normally
be obtained with the [WB 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
arti cial light settings, and so on.)
Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”
Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 42) 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.
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 34)
