Shooting tips

When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the information below.

Focusing

OLYMPUS FE-360 - Focusing - 1

"Focusing on the subject"

  • Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the screen

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. 14)

AF lock (p. 17)

  • Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult

In the following cases, after focusing on an object (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

OLYMPUS FE-360 - "Focusing on the subject" - 1

When extremely bright objects appear in the center of the screen

OLYMPUS FE-360 - "Focusing on the subject" - 2

Object with no vertical lines

OLYMPUS FE-360 - "Focusing on the subject" - 3

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

OLYMPUS FE-360 - "Focusing on the subject" - 4

Fast-moving object

OLYMPUS FE-360 - "Focusing on the subject" - 5

The subject is not in the center of the frame

OLYMPUS FE-360 - "Focusing on the subject" - 6

Camera shake

OLYMPUS FE-360 - Camera shake - 1

"Taking pictures without camera shake"

  • Taking pictures using mode (p. 18).
  • Select (SPORT) in SCENE mode (p. 27)

The (SPORT) mode uses a fast shutter speed and 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] (p. 25)

Exposure (brightness)

OLYMPUS FE-360 - Exposure (brightness) - 1

"Taking pictures with the right brightness"

  • Taking pictures using [FACE DETECT] (p. 26) Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened.
  • Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 19) flash A subject against backlight is brightened.
  • Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 19)

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 button to adjust in the 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

OLYMPUS FE-360 - Color hue - 1

"Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear"

  • Taking pictures by selecting [WB] (p. 25)

Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the AUTO setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and artificial light settings, and so on.)

  • Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 19) flash

Use of the flash is also effective for shooting under fluorescent and other artificial lighting.

Image quality

OLYMPUS FE-360 - Image quality - 1

Taking sharper pictures

  • Taking pictures with the optical zoom

Avoid using digital zoom (p. 19) to take pictures.

  • Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity

If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy. The resulting image is grainier than with low ISO sensitivity as well.

[ISO] (p. 25)

Batteries

OLYMPUS FE-360 - Batteries - 1

"Making batteries last longer"

  • Avoid any of the following operations when not actually taking pictures because they deplete the battery power.

  • Repeatedly pressing the shutter button halfway

  • Repeatedly using the zoom

  • Set [POWER SAVE] (p. 33) to [ON].
