Useful Information

Hints for Better Shooting

• Position the subject in the centre of the

scene. When using auto focus, whatever
is in the centre of the scene is kept in
focus.

• Avoid backlit subjects. For the best

picture, shoot with the light source behind
you.

When the background is brighter than the
subject, the subject often becomes too
dark. If you have to record in this lighting,
use Backlight Compensation or correct
the iris value to improve the picture (see
pages 30 and 50).

• Before zooming, think about how to best

frame the shot. Frequent zooming
produces unattractive pictures. It also runs
down the battery more quickly.

• When image shaking is noticeable during

zoomed-in telephoto shooting, use a
tripod or push the Power Zoom control to
the W side to zoom out.

Backlighting

• Horizontal panning (lateral movement) and

tilting (vertical movement) should be done
slowly to emphasize the wide expanse of
a scene or the height of a building, and to
make scenes easy to watch during
playback.

• Use a wide-angle setting for fast-moving

subjects.

Note:
• It may take longer to focus when zooming

and panning are used frequently.
