In the ISO setting, although smaller values result in less sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully lit conditions. Larger values result in higher sensitivity, and images can be taken at fast shutter speeds even under dimly lit conditions.

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

"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

When extremely bright objects appear in the center of the screen

Object with no vertical lines

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

Fast-moving object

The subject is not in the center of the frame

Camera shake

"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)

"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

"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

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

"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].
Playback/Editing tips
Playback

"Playing images in the internal memory and card"

When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.
The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not a malfunction.
