Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right
brightness”
Taking pictures using [FACE DETECT] (p. 27)
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face
against the backlight, and the face is brightened.
Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 20) flash
A subject against a backlight is brightened.
Taking pictures using exposure compensation
(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
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 with colors at the same
shade as they appear”
Taking pictures by selecting [WB] (p. 25)
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
artificial light settings, and so on.)
Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”
Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using [DIGITAL ZOOM] (p. 25) 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.
