CAMERA MENU ISO

Although lower ISO values reduce sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully lit conditions. Larger values increase sensitivity so that images can be taken at fast shutter speeds even under dimly lit conditions. High sensitivity introduces electronic noise into the resulting picture, which may give it a grainy appearance.

Submenu 2	Application
AUTO	The camera automatically adjusts the sensitivity according to the shooting 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. 15)

• Set [AF MODE] (p. 31) to [iESP].
• 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

When the subject is not in the center of the frame

Camera shake

"Taking pictures without camera shake"

• Taking pictures using [IMAGE STABILIZER] (p. 31)

When a picture is taken of a shadowy subject, the CCD^ shifts to correct for camera shake even if the ISO speed is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magnification.

1 A device that takes light received through the lens and converts it into electric signals.

• Select [SPORT] in SCN mode (p. 32)

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 speed is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a flash cannot be used.

[ISO] (p. 29)

Exposure (brightness)

"Taking pictures with the right brightness"

• Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight

A face against the backlight is brightened.

[SHADOW ADJ] (p. 20)

• Taking pictures using [FACE DETECT] for [AF MODE] (p. 31)

Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against the backlight, and the face is brightened.

• Taking pictures using [▶] for [METERING] (p. 31)

Brightness is matched with a subject in the center of the screen and the image is not affected by background light.

• Taking pictures using [12] (FILL IN) (p. 21) flash

A subject against the backlight is brightened.

• Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene

Set the mode to [BEACH & SNOW] (p. 32)

• Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 21)

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 24 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

WB

"Taking pictures that capture natural colors"

• Taking pictures by selecting [WB] (p. 29)

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.)

Image quality

Taking sharper pictures

• Taking pictures with the optical zoom

Avoid using [DIGITAL ZOOM] (p. 30) 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.

[ISO] (p. 29)

Panorama

"Taking pictures so that the frames are stitched smoothly"

A tip for panoramic shooting

Taking pictures by pivoting with the camera at the center prevents shifting of the image. When taking pictures of close objects in particular, pivoting with the lens end at the center produces favorable results.

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. 49) to [ON].

Playback

"Playing images in the internal memory"

• Removing the card from the camera

"Removing the xd-Picture Card" (p. 11).

"Using the microSD card"

• "Using the microSD card/microSDHC card (sold separately)" (p. 12)

Editing

"Erasing the sound recorded to a still image"

• Record over the sound with silence when playing back the image

[0] (Sound recording) (p. 40)
