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 the mode dial to and pressing the shutter button. But occasionally, you can’t focus on your subject or the picture doesn’t come out the way you want… Just knowing which button to press or which setting to change can help you solve these problems.
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.
If correct focus cannot be obtained 4 Press the shutter button fully. Shutter button 2 Subjects that are difficult to focus on The green lamp blinks. The subject cannot be brought into focus.

With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a photo store that supports DPOF.
Print settings (DPOF) TIPS Relation between printing and record mode when shooting The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots (pixels) per inch (dpi). The higher the dpi value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with a higher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease.
