The subject will also stand out better against an uncluttered dark background. Use a telephoto lens.
3 Shooting Landscapes Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for wide scenery or to have everything in focus from near to far. For vivid blues and greens, and very sharp and crisp images. Shooting Tips With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end. When using the wide-angle end of a zoom lens, objects near and far will be in focus better than at the telephoto end. It also adds breadth to landscapes. Shooting night scenes. The <3> mode is also good for night scenes because it disables the built-in flash.
4 Shooting Close-ups When you want to shoot flowers or small things up close, use the <4> (Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold separately). Shooting Tips Use a simple background. A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out better. Move as close as possible to the subject. Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as on them.
5 Shooting Moving Subjects Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a running child or a moving vehicle. Shooting Tips Use a telephoto lens. The use of a telephoto lens is recommended for shooting from a distance. Track the subject with the Area AF frame. Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter button halfway to start autofocusing in Area AF frame. During autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly.
6 Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod) To shoot people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode. Using a tripod is recommended. Shooting Tips Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night view. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. Check the subject’s brightness. Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a good exposure of the subject.
F Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld) Using a tripod for shooting a night scene yields the best results. However, with the (Handheld Night Scene) mode, you can shoot night scenes while handholding the camera. In this mode, four shots are taken continuously for each picture, and a resulting bright image with reduced camera shake is recorded. Shooting Tips Hold the camera firmly. While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode, four shots are aligned and merged into a single image.
G Shooting Backlit Scenes When shooting a scene having both bright and dark areas, use the (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this mode, three continuous shots are taken at different exposures. This results in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the blocked-up shadows caused by backlighting. Shooting Tips Hold the camera firmly. While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode, three shots are aligned and merged into a single image.
Cautions for <6> Night Portrait and Handheld Night Scene During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus dots of light such as in a night scene. In such a case, set the lens’ focus mode switch to and focus manually. Cautions for Handheld Night Scene and HDR Backlight Control Compared with other shooting modes, the shooting area will be smaller. You cannot select RAW or RAW+JPEG. If RAW is set, the image will be recorded in the 73 quality.
Q Quick Control Cautions for HDR Backlight Control Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.

5 Advanced Operations In Creative Zone modes, you can set the shutter speed and/ or aperture to set the exposure as desired. By changing the camera settings, you can obtain various results. The M icon at the upper right of the page title indicates that the function is available only in Creative Zone modes (d/ s/f/a/F). After you press the shutter button halfway and let go, the exposure values will remain displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel for 4 sec. (0). Set the switch downward.
d: Program AE The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE. * stands for Program. * AE stands for Auto Exposure. 1 Set the Mode Dial to . the subject. 2 Focus Look through the viewfinder and aim the AF point over the subject. Then press the shutter button halfway. X When focus is achieved, the focus confirmation light on the viewfinder’s bottom right will light up (when in One-Shot AF mode).
s: Shutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture to obtain the standard exposure suiting the brightness of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action or a moving subject. A slower shutter speed can create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion. * stands for Time value. Blurred motion (Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) 1 Frozen action (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.
f: Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to obtain the standard exposure suiting the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/ number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. On the other hand, a lower f/ number (larger aperture hole) will make less of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
a: Manual Exposure In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. To determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a commercially-available exposure meter. This method is called manual exposure. * stands for Manual. 1 Set the Mode Dial to . 2 Set the ISO speed (p.100). speed and aperture. 3 SetTothesetshutter the shutter speed, turn the <6> dial.

Although you can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3stop increments, the exposure compensation indicator in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel can only display the setting up to ±3 stops.
h Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB)N By changing the shutter speed or aperture automatically, the camera brackets the exposure up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. This is called AEB. * AEB stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing. 1 Select [Expo.comp./AEB]. Under the [z3] tab, select [Expo.comp./AEB], then press <0>. the AEB range. 2 SetTurn the <6> dial to set the AEB AEB range range. Press the key to set the exposure compensation amount. Press <0> to set it.
A AE LockN Use AE lock when the area of focus is to be different from the exposure metering area or when you want to take multiple shots at the same exposure setting.
