If the subject is outside the flash range (p. 51),
overexposure may result. To prevent the flash
from firing, set the flash mode to flash cancel (p.
28).
Always use the monitor to frame the image. The
use of a tripod is recommended. Macro can be
used with the self-timer, see below.
Landscape – focus is optimized for scenic pictures. The use of a tripod is recommended in in twi-
light or overcast conditions as shutter speeds can be long. The flash is canceled with this focus
mode. Landscape can be used with the self-timer.
Camera shake is more noticeable with long exposures or close-up pictures. In these situations,
place the camera on a tripod and make the exposure with the self-timer to prevent shaking the
camera.
