Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right
brightness”
Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot
against backlight.
[SHADOW ADJUST] (p. 32)
Taking pictures using [FACE/iESP] (p. 32)
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face
against backlight, and the face is brightened.
Taking pictures using [n] for [ESP/n]
(p. 32)
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. 27) fl ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
Taking pictures of a white beach or snow
scene
Set the mode to [ q BEACH & SNOW] (p. 23)
Taking pictures using exposure compensation
(p. 28)
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
(p. 28)
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
artifi cial light settings, and so on.)
Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 27) fl ash
Use of the fl ash is also effective for shooting under
fl uorescent and other artifi cial lighting.

Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”
Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 33) 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.
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 29)
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.
[PANORAMA] (p. 24)
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. 46) to [ON]
