Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”
Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight
A face against the backlight is brightened.
[SHADOW ADJ] (p. 22, 28)
Taking pictures using [FACE DETECT] for
[AF MODE] (p. 27)
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against
the backlight, and the face is brightened.
Taking pictures using [n] for [ESP/n]
(p. 27)
Brightness is matched with a subject in the center
of the screen and the image is not affected by
background light.
Taking pictures using [ #] (FILL IN) (p. 19) fl ash
A subject against the backlight is brightened.
Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene
Set the mode to [ q BEACH & SNOW] (p. 28)
Taking pictures using exposure compensation
(p. 20)
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 F button 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 that capture natural
colors”
Taking pictures by selecting [WB] (p. 26)
Best results in most environments can normally
be obtained with the [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 artifi cial light settings,
and so on.)

Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”
Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using [DIGITAL ZOOM] (p. 27) to take pictures.
Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
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.
[ISO] (p. 26)
Panorama
“Taking pictures so that the frames are
stitched smoothly”
A tip for panoramic shooting
Taking pictures by pivoting with the camera at the
center prevents shifting of the image. When taking
pictures of close objects in particular, pivoting with the
lens end at the center produces favorable results.
Batteries
“Making batteries last longer”
Avoid any of the following operations when not
actually taking pictures because they deplete the
battery power
Repeatedly pressing the shutter button halfway
Repeatedly using the zoom
Set [POWER SAVE] (p. 42) to [ON]
