HINTS FOR TAKING PICTURES
Taking great pictures in difficult surroundings is easier than you might think.
By keeping a few points in mind and choosing the correct settings, you can
create photos that you’ll be proud to display and share.
Basic photography
If images are blurred even when the autofocus is used
Your camera employs an autofocus function. When you snap a picture using
the autofocus, the camera automatically adjusts the settings so that the
image will be in focus. If you are getting blurred images even when using the
autofocus, one or more of the following might be the reason.
k How the autofocus works
The autofocus is activated when the
shutter button is pressed halfway. Press
the shutter button slightly, and the target
mark will appear on the monitor to indicate
that the autofocus has been activated.
Next, continue to gently press the shutter
button all the way to snap the picture. This
two-step method is the way to ensure that
your photos are perfectly focused.
k Reasons for unfocused images
1 The shutter button was pressed fully in one motion.
2 After the image was focused, the subject moved.
h Even if camera focuses the subject once, if the distance between the
camera and the subject is changed, the subject may become out of
focus.
3 The focus setting is not set for the correct distance.
h If you shoot a close-up subject with the camera set to the normal focus
mode, or if you shoot a subject at normal distance with the camera set
to the macro (close-up) mode (page 47), the image will not be in focus.
