Shooting tipsWhen extremely bright objects

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 monitor

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. 9)

Set [AF Mode] (p. 25) to [Face/iESP]

Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 25)

The camera tracks the subject movement

automatically to focus on it continuously.

Taking a picture of subjects where

autofocus is difficult

In the following cases, after focusing on anobject (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

monitor

Object with no vertical lines*1

*1 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.

When objects are at different

distances

The subject is not in the

center of the frame

Taking pictures without camera shake

Taking pictures using N(p. 14)

Select [CSport] in the scene mode (p. 13)The [CSport] mode uses a fast shutter speedand 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 flash cannot be used.

ISO sensitivity (p. 22)

Exposure (brightness)

Taking pictures with the right brightness

Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 25)

Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face

against backlight, and the face is brightened. Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 21) flash

A subject against backlight is brightened.

Taking pictures of a white beach or snow

scene

Select [qBeach & Snow] in the scene mode(p. 13).

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 inthe 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. 21)

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. (Thisis especially true for sunshade under a clear

sky, mixed natural and artificial light settings,

and so on.)

Taking pictures with the optical zoom

Avoid using digital zoom (p. 26) to take pictures. Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity

Using your charger and USB-AC

adapter abroad

The charger and USB-AC adapter can be used in

most home electrical sources within the range of

100 V to 240 V AC (50/60Hz) around the world.

However, depending on the country or area you

are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differentlyand the charger and USB-AC adapter may require

a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For details,

ask at your local electrical shop or travel agent.

Do not use travel voltage converters as they could

damage your charger and USB-AC adapter.

edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is nota malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode. In places subject to low temperatures, the monitor maytake a long time to turn on or its color may changetemporarily. When using the camera in extremely coldplaces, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warmplace. The monitor exhibiting poor performance due tolow temperatures will recover in normal temperatures. The monitor of this product is manufactured with high-qualityaccuracy, however, there may be a stuck or dead pixel on

the monitor. These pixels do not have any influence onthe image to be saved. Because of the characteristics, theunevenness of the color or brightness may also be founddepending on the angle, but this is due to the structure ofthe monitor. This is not a malfunction.
