Photo Tips and Information
Regarding the AF Frame (p. 60)
AiAF* has a wide range of measuring for accurate focusing. AiAF focuses
on the object even if it is not exactly in the center of the frame.
* "Ai" stands for "Artificial intelligence" and "AF" stands for "Auto Focus."
Advanced Techniques for the Macro Mode (Basic)
Macro mode can make unique images when used with the zoom function.
For example, shooting a flower at maximum wide angle in Macro mode
allows the camera to bring both the flower and the background into focus.
However, shooting at maximum telephoto can throw the background out of
focus to make the flower stand out.
Tip for Using the Self-timer (p. 36)
Normally, the camera shakes a little when you press the shutter button.
Setting the self-timer to
delays the shutter release for 2 seconds and
allows the camera to stop shaking, thus preventing a blurred image.
Even better results can be obtained by placing the camera on a stable
surface or by using a tripod to shoot.
