Concepts in Photography
DOF preview
You can press the Custom button to get an idea of what your shot will look
like before shooting. The camera adjusts the aperture to the predened
settings and shows the results on the screen. Set the function of the
Custom button to Optical Preview. (p. 171)
Composition
The way that objects are arranged in a photo is referred to as its
composition. A good composition emphasizes the photo’s subjects
by drawing attention to them and by balancing them with the other
elements in the photo.
Following the rule of thirds is one method that usually results in good
compositions.
Rule of Thirds
To use the rule of thirds, divide the image into a 3x3 pattern of equal
rectangles.
To compose photos that best emphasize the subject, make sure the
subject is located at one of the corners of the center rectangle.
