Now on to the main event: taking the actual pictures.
Useful techniques for portrait and wedding photo-
graphs can be found under “Shooting Techniques”
(page30).
Remember to take test shots and check the results after
changing locations or composition (page25).
What If…What If…
…My Model Tends to Blink?…My Model Tends to Blink?
If conditions are making it hard for your model not to blink, try shoot-
ing bursts with [Continuous L] or [Continuous H] selected for release
mode and picking the best shots.
…I Need to Be Quiet?…I Need to Be Quiet?
If you’re worried that sounds from the camera may disturb those around you, select [On] for [Silent
photography] in the photo shooting menu to eliminate the noise and vibration from the mechan-
ical shutter.
Cautions: Silent Photography
• Selecting [On] for [Silent photography] does not completely silence the camera. Camera sounds
may still be audible, for example during autofocus or aperture adjustment, in the latter case most
noticeably at apertures smaller (i.e., at f-numbers higher) than f/5.6.
• Flash photography is disabled.
• Long-exposure noise reduction is disabled.
• There is no limit to the number of photos that can be taken in a single burst, regardless of the option
chosen for Custom Setting d2 [Max. continuous release].
• The electronic shutter is used, regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting d5 [Shutter
type].
• Regardless of the settings selected for [Beep options] in the setup menu, beeps will not sound
when the camera focuses or while the self-timer is in operation.
• Enabling silent photography changes the frame advance rates for continuous release modes.
…The Scene Has Depth?…The Scene Has Depth?
Stopping aperture down or opening it up to increase or reduce depth
of eld changes the amount of bokeh and thus the impressions your
photos create.
