A correct posture for stabilizing the camera is necessary for taking a good photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a low shutter speed, hold your breath to minimize body movement.
Hold the camera with your right hand and place you right index finger on the shutter button. Place your left hand under the lens for support.
Standing photography
Compose your shot; stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length
apart, and keep your elbows pointed down.
Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and keep a straight posture
The aperture, a hole that controls the amount of light that enters the camera, is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close to let light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture is closely related to the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the brighter the photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo.
Minimum aperture Medium aperture Maximum aperture
Darker photo Brighter photo (aperture opened slightiy) (aperture opened wide)
Concepts in Photography
The size of the aperture is represented by a value known as an “F-number.” The f-number represents the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens with a 50 mm focal length has an f-number of F2, the diameter of the aperture is 25 mm.
(60 mm/25 mm=F2) The smaller the f-number, the greater the size of the aperture.
The opening in the aperture is described as the Exposure Value (EV). increasing the Exposure Value (+1 EV) means the amount of light doubles. Decreasing the Exposure Value (-1 EV) means the amount of light halves. You can also use the exposure compensation feature to fine-tune the amount of light by subdividing exposure values into 1/2, 1/3 EV, and so on.
Exposure Value Steps
Aperture value and the depth of field |
You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by controlling the aperture. It is closely related to the depth of field (DOF), which can be expressed as small or large.
A photo with a large DOF A photo with a small DOF The aperture housing contains several blades. These blades move together and control the amount of light passing through the center of the aperture. The number of blades also affects the shape of light when shooting night scenes. |f an aperture has an even number of blades, light divides into an equal number of sections. If the number of blades is odd, the number of sections is double the number of blades.
For example, an aperture with 8 blades divides light into 8 sections and an aperture with 7 blades into 14 sections.
Concepts in Photography
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor.
Usually, the shutter speed is manually adjustable. The measurement of the shutter speed is known as the “Exposure Value” (EV), which is marked in intervals of 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/45, 1/85, 1/15 8, 1/1000 5, 1/2000 s, and s0 on.
1s 1/28 1/48 1/8s 145s 1/30 s
Therefore, the faster the shutter speed, c Likewise, the slower the shutter speed, the more light wil
As the photos below illustrate, a slow shutter speed allows more time to let light in, so the photo becomes brighter. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.
The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the camera. This sensitivity is based on international film standards, known as ISO standards. On digital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used
to represent the sensitivity of the digital mechanism that captures the image.
ISO sensitivity doubles as the number doubles. For example, an
ISO 200 setting is capable of capturing images at twice the speed of an ISO 100 setting. However, higher ISO settings can result in “noise” — small specks, spots, and other phenomena in a photo that give the shot a noisy or dirty appearance. As a general rule, it is best to use a low ISO setting to prevent noise in your photos, unless you are shooting in darkened environments or at night.
Changes in the quality and brightness according to ISO sensitivity
Because a low ISO sensitivity means the camera wilkbe less Se nte to light, you need more light to have an optimal exposure. When:using a low ISO sensitivity, open the aperture more or reduce the shutter. speed to allow more light to enter the camera. For example, on a sunny. day when light is abundant, a low ISO sensitivity does not require a low Shutter speed. However, in a dark place or at night, a low ISO sensitivity and a fast shutter speed will result in a blurry photo.

Concepts in Photography
How the aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity control exposure
The aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity are closely interconnected in photography. The aperture setting controls the opening that regulates the light that enters the camera, while the shutter speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to enter.
ISO sensitivity determines the speed at which the film reacts to light. Together, these three aspects are described as the triangle of exposure.
A change in shutter speed, aperture value, or ISO sensitivity can be offset by adjustments to the others to maintain the amount of light. The results, however, change according to the settings. For example, shutter speed is useful in expressing movement, aperture can control the depth of field, and ISO sensitivity can control the graininess of a photo.
= more light Narrow aperture = less light
Wide = small depth of field Narrow = large depth of field
Fast speed = less light Slow speed = more light
Fast = still Slow = blurry
= more sensitive to light Low sensitivity
= less sensitive to light
High = more grainy Low = less grainy
Concepts in Photography
Correlation between focal length, angle, and perspective
Focal length, which is measured in milimeters, is the distance between the middle of the lens to its focal point. It affects the angle and perspective of captured images. A short focal length translates into a wide angle, which allows you to capture a wide shot. A long focal length translates into a narrow angle, which allows you to capture telephoto shots.
Look at these photos below and compare the changes.
50 mm angle 200 mm angle
Normally, a lens with a wide angle is suitable for shooting landscapes and a lens with a narrow angle is recommended for shooting sports events or portraits.
Concepts in Photography
Portraits or still-life photos mostly acclaimed by people are the ones on which the background is out of focus so the subject looks pronounced. Depending on the focused areas, a photo can be blurred or sharpened. This is called ‘a low DOF' or ‘a high DOF.
The depth of field is the focused area around the subject. Therefore, a small DOF signifies that the focused area is narrow and a large DOF means the focused area is wide.
À photo with a small DOF, which stresses the subject and makes the rest of it blurred, can be obtained by using a telescope lens or selecting a low aperture value. Conversely, a photo with a large DOF which shows all the elements on the photo sharply focused can be achieved by using a wide angle lens or selecting a high aperture value.
Small Depth of Field Large Depth of Field
DOF depends on aperture value
The wider the aperture is (namely the lower the aperture value), the lower the DOF becomes. Under the condition where the other values including shutter speed and ISO sensitivity are equal, a low aperture value leads to a photo with a low DOF.

DOF depends on focal length DOF depends on the distance between the subject and
the camera The longer the focal length is, the lower the DOF gets. A telescope lens
with a longer focal length than a telescope lens with a short focal length The shorter the distance between the subject and the camera is, the is better to capture a photo of a low DOF. lower the DOF gets. Therefore, taking a photo close to a subject can result in a photo of low DOF.

You can use the Custom button to get an idea of what your shot will look like before shooting. When you press the button, the camera adjusts the aperture to the predefined settings and shows the results on the screen. Set the function of the Custom button to Optical Preview. (p. 128)
Itis fun to capture a photo of the beauty of world with a-camerar matter how the world is beautiful, however, a poor composition cannot capture the beauty of it.
When it comes to composition, it is very important to prioritize subjects.
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.
To use the rule of thirds, divide the image into a 3x8 pattern of equal rectangles.
To compose photos that best emphasize the subject, make sure the subject is located at one of the corners of the center rectangle.
Using the rule of thirds will create photos with stable and compelling Photos with two subjects
compositions. Below are a few examples.
If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it creates an unbalanced composition. You can stabilize the photo by capturing a second subject in the opposite corner to balance the weight of the photo.
When taking landscape photos, centering the horizon will create an unbalanced effect. Give more weight to the photo by moving the horizon up or down.
Light is one of the most important components in photography. It's not easy, however, to have an enough amount of light anytime and anywhere. Making use of a flash allows you to optimize light settings and create a variety of effects.
Flash, also known as strobe or speed light, helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions. It is also useful in light-abundant situations. For example, flash can be used in compensating the exposure of a subjects shadow or capturing clearly both the subject and the background in backlit conditions.
Before correction After correction
The model number of a flash refers to the flash's power, and/the maximum amount of light created is represented by a value known
as a “guide number.” The bigger the guide number, the more light is emitted from the flash. The guide number is achieved by multiplying the distance from the flash to the subject and the aperture value when the ISO sensitivity is set to 100.
Guide number = Flash to Subject Distance X Aperture value Aperture value = Guide number / Flash to Subject Distance
Flash to Subject Distance = Guide number / Aperture value Therefore, if you know the guide number of a flash, you can estimate an optimum flash to subject distance when setting the flash manually. For
example, if a flash has a guide number of GN 20 and is 4 meters away from the subject, the optimal aperture value is F5.0.
Concepts in Photography
Bounce photography refers to the method of bouncing light off of
the ceiling or walls so that the light spreads evenly over the subject. Normally, photos captured with flash may appear unnatural and cast shadows. Subjects in photos captured with bounce photography cast no shadows and look smooth due to evenly spread light.

Two simple shooting modes —Smart Auto and Scene mode—help you capture photos with numerous automatic settings. Additional modes allow for greater customization of settings.
p A S M Manual mode (p. 46) ©
SMART Smart Auto mode
In Smart Auto mode, the camera recognizes surrounding conditions and automatically adjusts factors that contribute to exposure, including shutter speed, aperture value, metering, White Balance, and exposure compensation. As the camera controls most of the functions, some Shooting functions are limited. This mode is useful for capturing quick snapshots with the least amount of adjustment.
The camera may detect different scenes, even the same subjects, depending on external factors such as camera shake, lighting, and distance to the subject.
The camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture value so that an optimal exposure value can be achieved.
This mode is useful when you want to capture shots of constant exposure while being able to adjust other settings.
Program Shift function lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture value while the camera maintains the same exposure. When you rotate the navigation button counter-clockwise, the shutter speed decreases and the aperture value increases. When you rotate the navigation button clockwise, the shutter speed increases and the aperture value decreases.
À Aperture Priority mode
In Aperture Priority mode, the camera automatically calculates shutter speed according to the aperture value you choose. You can adjust the depth of field (DOF) by changing the aperture value. This mode is useful for taking portraits and landscape shots.
Large Depth of Field Small Depth of Field
In low-light settings, you may need to increase the ISO sensitivity to prevent blurred photos.
S Shutter Priority mode
In Shutter Priority mode, the camera automatically adjusts the aperture value according to the shutter speed you choose. This mode is useful for capturing photos of fast-moving subjects or for creating tracer effects in a photo.
For example, set the shutter speed to over 1/500 s to freeze the subject. To make the subject appear blurred set the shutter speed to below 1/30 s.
In order to compensate for the reduced amount of light allowed by fast shutter speeds, open the aperture and let in more light. If your photos are still 100 dark, increase the ISO value.
Manual mode lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture value manually. In this mode, you can fully control the exposure of your photos,
This mode is useful in controlled shooting environments, such as a studio, or when it is necessary to fine-tune camera settings. The Manual mode is also recommended for shooting night scenes or fireworks.
When you adjust the aperture value or shutter speed, the exposure changes according to the settings, so the display may darken. With this function on, the brightness of the display is constant regardless of the settings, so you can better frame your shot.

When a lens hood is attached, the light from the flash can be blocked by the hood. Remove the hood to use the flash.
The metering mode refers to the way in which a camera measures the quantity of light.
The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its modes, uses the measurement to adjust various settings. For example, if a subject looks darker than its actual color, the camera captures an overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual color, the camera captures an underexposed photo of it.
The brightness and overall mood of the photo can also be affected by
how the camera measures the amount of light. Select an appropriate setting for a shooting condition.
In Shooting mode, press [Fn] —> Metering —> an option:
The Multi mode calculates the amount of light in multiple areas. When light is sufficient or insufficient, the camera adjusts the exposure by averaging the overall brightness of the scene. This mode is suitable for general photos.
The Center-weighted mode calculates a broader area than the
Spot mode does. It sums up the amount of light in the center portion of the shot (60 - 80 %) and that of the rest of the shot (20 - 40 %). It is recommended for situations where there is a slight difference in brightness between a subject and a background or an area of the subject is large compared to the overall composition of the photo
The Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you capture a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject correctly. For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong backlight condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of light is abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can prevent this situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designated area.
The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot mode is recommended for a situation like this where a huge difference in the exposure exists between a subject and a background
Measuring the exposure value of the focus area
When this function is turned on, the camera automatically sets an optimal exposure by calculating the brightness of the focus area. This function is only available when you select Spot metering or Multi metering, and Selection AF.

Digital imaging devices such as digital cameras, monitors, and printers have their own methods for representing colors, which are called color spaces.
Your camera lets you select two color spaces: SRGB or Adobe RGB SRGB is widely used for creating colors on PC monitors and is also the standard color space for Exif. SRGB is recommended for regular images and images you intend to publish on the Internet.
Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a larger color range than SRGB. Its wider range of colors helps you to easily edit photos on a computer. Note that individual programs are generally compatible with a limited number of color spaces. If you open an image in a program that is not compatible with the image's color space, the colors will appear lighter.
In Shooting mode, press [MENU] — (@m — Color Space — an option.
Adobe RGB SRGB Exposure compensation
The camera automatically sets the exposure by measuring the levels
of light from the photo's composition and the position of a subject. If the exposure set by the camera is higher or lower than you expected, you can adjust the exposure value manually. The exposure value is adjustable in +3 increments. The camera displays the exposure warning in red for each step beyond +3 range.
To adjust the exposure value, press [FI Éd], and then rotate the navigation button. You can also adjust the exposure value by pressing [Fn], and then selecting EVC (Exposure Value Compensation)

AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) / LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
AMOLED is a visual display that is very thin and light, as it does not need backlighting. LCD is a visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to reproduce colors.
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor.
If the camera is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image may appear blurred. This occurs more often when the shutter speed is slow. Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, or using a faster shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod or the OIS function to stabilize the camera.
Cloud computing is a technology that allows you to store data on remote servers and to use them from a device with internet access.
The range of colors that the camera can see.
Color Temperature is a measurement in degrees Kelvin (K) that indicates the hue of a specific type of light source. As the color temperature increases, the color of the light source has a more bluish quality. As the color temperature decreases, the color of the light source has a more reddish quality. At 5,500 degrees Kelvin, the color of the light source is similar to the sun at midday.
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
A specification to define a file format and file system for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).
The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of field varies with lens aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera to the subject. Selecting a smaller aperture, for example, will increase the depth of field and blur the background of a composition.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
A format for writing printing information, such as selected images
and number of prints, on a memory card. DPOF-compatible printers, sometimes available at photo shops, can read the information from the card for convenient printing.
All the combinations of the camera's shutter speed and lens aperture that result in the same exposure.
This feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value measured by the camera, in limited increments, to improve the exposure of your photos,
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)
A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA).
The amount of light allowed to reach the camera's sensor. Exposure is controlled by a combination of the shutter speed, the aperture value, and ISO sensitivity.
A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions.
The distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point(in milimeters). Longer focal lengths result in narrower angles of view and the subject is magnified. Shorter focal lengths result in wider angles of view.
A graphical representation of the brightness of an image. The horizontal axis represents the brightness and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels. High points at the left (too dark) and right (too bright) on the histogram indicate a photo that is improperly exposed
A high-compression video format established by international standard organizations ISO-IEC and ITU-T. This codec is capable of providing good video quality at low bit rates developed by the Joint Video Team
The physical part of a digital camera that contains a photosite for each pixel in the image. Each photosite records the brightness of the light that strikes it during an exposure. Common sensor types are CCD (Charge-coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor)
IP (Internet protocol) address
An IP address is a unique number that is assigned to every device that is connected to the internet.
The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film speed used in a film camera. At higher ISO sensitivity settings, the camera uses a higher shutter speed, which can reduce blur caused by camera shake and low light. However, images with high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are compressed to reduce their overall file size with minimal deterioration of the image resolution.
The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity of light to set the exposure.
A system that manually focuses the camera lens on the subject. You can use the focus ring to focus on a subject.
A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.
MPO (Multi Picture Object)
An image file format that contains multiple images in a file. An MPO file provides a 3D effect on MPO-compatible displays, such as 8D TVs or 8D monitors.
Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as misplaced or random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when photos are shot with a high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is automatically set in a dark place.
NTSC (National Television System Committee)
A video color encoding standard used most commonly in Japan, North America, the Philippines, South America, South Korea, and Taiwan.
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does not deteriorate quality of images.
PAL (Phase Alternate Line)
A video color encoding standard used in numerous countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image. Higher quality images have a lower rate of compression, which usually results in a larger file size.
RAW (Sensor raw data)
The original, unprocessed data, collected directly from the camera's image sensor. White Balance, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and other data can be manipulated with editing software before the image is compressed into a standard file format.
The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images contain more pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution images.
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. À fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.
International standard of color space established by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This is defined from color space for PC monitors and is also used as the standard color space for Exif.
A reduction of an image's brightness or saturation at the periphery (outer edges) compared to the center of the image. Vignetting can draw interest to subjects positioned in the center of an image.
White Balance (Color balance)
An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary colors red, green, and blue), in an image. The goal of adjusting the White Balance, or color balance, is to correctly render the colors in an image.
Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to exchange data
Wirelessly over a network.
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
WPS is a technology that secures wireless home networks.
