Canon EOS REBEL T8i, Advanced User'S Manual

Page: 111 / 775

Note
Note the following if you are not using the built-in flash.
Under low light where camera shake tends to occur, the viewfinder's shutter speed
display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a tripod. When using a zoom lens,
you can reduce the blur caused by camera shake by setting the lens to the wide-
angle end.
When shooting portraits under low light, tell subjects to stay still until you have
finished shooting. Any movement as you shoot will make the person look blurry in
the picture.
Recomposing the Shots
Depending on the scene, positioning the subject toward the left or right to include a
balanced background will result in a picture with better perspective.
Pressing the shutter button halfway to focus on a still subject will lock the focus on that
subject. Recompose the shot while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, and then
press the shutter button completely to take the picture. This is called “focus lock.”
Note
In Live View shooting, the camera continues to focus on any faces initially detected
and focused on, even if you recompose the shot.
