Shooting – The Basics
1
Turn the mode dial
and set the icon of
the function you
wish to use to .
z Shooting procedures are
the same as for the
mode (p. 33).
and Shooting Modes
Always use a tripod to prevent camera
shake.
z See page 159 for settings that can be
changed in this mode.
z Tips for each function:
Portrait Mode
• To best achieve the effect of the
background gradually fading, compose
the image so that the upper half of the
subject’s body fills most of the viewfinder
or LCD monitor.
• The background gets increasingly
indistinct the more you adjust the focal
length toward telephoto.
Landscape Mode
• The icon (camera shake warning)
may appear on the LCD monitor since
slower shutter speeds are frequently
used in this mode. If this happens, affix
the camera to a tripod.
Night Scene Mode
• The shutter speed slows down. Even if
you use the flash, tell your subjects not to
move for a few moments.
• Using the mode in daylight will
produce an effect similar to that of the
mode.
z Fast Shutter
• Noise in the recorded image may
increase if you shoot dark subjects.
