• Taking pictures using exposure compensation.
g P. 21
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. Normally, taking
pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are darker than the
actual subject. Use the exposure compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction
to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other
hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.
Color hue
Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear.
• Taking pictures by selecting white balance.
g P. 33
Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the [WB Auto] setting,
but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is
especially true for sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and artificial light settings,
and so on.)
Image quality
Taking sharper pictures.
• Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity.
g P. 38
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color
unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear
grainy.
