★

The table below provides a number of sample settings. Use the settings effectively.
To achieve this result Sample settings
To express the motion of the subject
Set the Mode dial to “
M
” and select a slow shutter speed. (Use a
tripod to prevent camera shake.)
To freeze the subject's movement Set the Mode dial to “
M
” and select a fast shutter speed.
To make the subject stand out by having the background
out of focus
Set the Mode dial to “
<
” and select a wide aperture setting.
To get a very large depth of focus Set the Mode dial to “
<
” and select a narrow aperture setting.
To prevent the image from having a red or blue cast
due to the light source Change the “White balance” setting in the photography menu.
To prevent missing snapshot opportunities Take pictures in AUTO mode (see “Using the Camera”).
To prevent the subject from being overexposed or
underexposed and to show the substance and textures
of the subject clearly. Use exposure compensation.
Select (+) if the background is pale and (–) if the background is
dark.
✽
The flash cannot be used for continuous shooting.
When shutter speed and aperture adjustments alone do not give the correct exposure:
When the image is too bright
Lower the “
S
” sensitivity setting.
When the image is too dark
Raise the “
S
” sensitivity setting.
Use flash or the brightness adjustment
function.
