Taking great pictures in difficult surroundings is easier than you might think. By keeping a few points in mind and choosing the correct settings, you can create photos that you'll be proud to display and share. If images are blurred even when the autofocus is used Your camera employs an autofocus function. When you snap a picture using the autofocus, the camera automatically adjusts the settings so that the image will be in focus. If you are getting blurred images even when using the autofocus, one or more of the following might be the reason. M How the autofocus works The autofocus is activated when the [ 3 ] button is gently pressed halfway. Press the [ ] button slighty, and the target mark will appear on the monitor to indicate that the autofocus has been activated. Next, continue to gently press the [ ÿ ] button all the way to snap the picture. This two-step method is the way to ensure that your photos are perfectly focused. M Reasons for unfocused images @ The [ A] button was pressed all the way in one step. @ After the image was focused, the subject moved. + Even if camera focuses the subject once, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed, the subject may become out of focus. @ The focus setting is not set for the correct distance. +_ If you shoot a close-up subject with the camera set to the normal focus. mode, or if you shoot a subject at normal distance with the camera set to the super macro (close-up) mode (pages 62, 72 and 104), the image will not be in focus. M Preventing blurred images @ Confirm that the camera is set to the correct focus mode for your subject. @ Hold the camera correctiy, and press the [ (Ô ] button halfway. @ Wait for the target mark to appear in the monitor, and holding the camera steady, gentiy continue to press the [ J ] button all the way down.

Photographing a moving subject Situation: You would like to snap an action shot of a moving child or pet. The autofocus is activated, but because the subject is moving, the image may be blurred. In particular, when the distance between the camera and the subject is changing, it is difficult to lock the focus on the subject. Here are some hints for successfully capturing images of moving subjects. M Reasons for unfocused images When the [ 2 ] button is gently pressed halfway, the camera's autofocus works by determining the distance between the camera and the subject. Once the subject is in focus, if it then moves before the picture is snapped, the image may be out of focus. This often happens when you once lock the focus on a subject and then wait for the right moment to snap the picture. And, conversely, a blurred image may result if you press the [ @ ] button all the way in one step in an attempt to quickly capture an action scene, thus failing to activate the autofoeus in time. M Preventing blurred images (How to use the manual focus [page 104]) In addition to the autofocus, a manual focus mode is also incorporated in your camera. In the autofocus mode, the distance between the camera and the subject is automatically determined when you press the [ (ÊJ ] button halfway. In contrast to this, with the manual focus mode, you manually set the focus by specifying the correct distance between the camera and the subject before taking the picture. 1 How to photograph a moving subject @ Set the camera's focus mode to the manual focus. Set the focus distance to the correct distance between the camera and the subject. @ When the subject is at the set focus distance, genty press the [ C3] button all the way down <Advantage of using the manual focus> + Images can be quickly captured without waiting for the autofocus to activate. + Because you are presetting the focus distance, the focus can be more accurate. <Using the manual focus effectively> + When photographing a moving subject, press the [ Éÿ ] button just before the subject reaches the focus distance, and the shutter will be released when the subject is at the correct distance. + Use manual focus to avoid incorrectly focused images when there is an object between the camera and the subject you wish to focus on. 203 English
