2 Tips before you start taking pictures Tips before you start taking pictures Your pictures are almost guaranteed to come out well just by setting your camera to the P mode and pressing the shutter button. Occasionally however you may need to focus on a difficult subject or adjust the brightness in order to get the picture to come out how you wanted... Just knowing which button to press or which setting to change can help you solve these problems.
Holding the camera Sometimes when you look at a picture you have taken, the outline of the subject is blurred. This is often caused by movement of the camera at the precise moment that the shutter button is pressed. Tips before you start taking pictures 2 Picture where subject is not clearly defined To prevent the camera from moving, hold the camera firmly with both hands while keeping your elbows at your sides.
If correct focus cannot be obtained The camera automatically detects the focus target in the frame. The level of contrast is one of the criteria it uses to detect the subject. The camera may fail to determine subjects with lower contrast than the surroundings or with an area of extremely strong contrast in the frame. If this happens, the simplest solution is to use the focus lock. How to focus (focus lock) Position the AF target mark on the subject you want to focus on.
If correct focus cannot be obtained 3 Keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, recompose your shot. Green lamp P Tips before you start taking pictures 2 HQ 2560 1920 4 30 Press the shutter button fully. Shutter button TIPS Focus on the subject in the center of the frame. g“AF mode” (P.37) Subjects that are difficult to focus on Under certain types of conditions, the auto focus may not work properly. The green lamp blinks. The subject cannot be brought into focus.
Record mode You can select a record mode in which to take pictures or shoot movies. Select the best record mode for your purpose (printing, editing on a computer, website editing, etc.). For information on the image sizes for each record mode and the memory capacity of the card, see the table on P.22.
Record mode Movie record modes Movies are recorded in Motion-JPEG format.
Record mode TIPS • When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken with an image size of 1,024 × 768 fills as the screen if you set the picture to 1× when the monitor setting is 1,024 × 768. However, if the monitor setting is over 1,024 × 768 (such as 1,280 × 1,024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.
