TAKING PICTURES UNDER DIFFERENT
CONDITIONS
Taking portrait pictures
A portrait-style photograph features an in-focus subject against a blurred
background. Your camera offers two different ways of achieving this effect.
m
With the mode dial set to “S-Prg”,
select “S-Prg”–“
” in the Menu (P.
86).
Focus on the subject. Exposure is
adjusted automatically according to the
conditions.
m
Set the mode dial to “A”, then manually
set the aperture to a lower value. (P. 87)
By decreasing the aperture value, you will
force the camera to focus within a smaller
range, producing a picture with a blurred
background.
Taking pictures of moving subjects
If the subject of your photograph is moving quickly — such as athletes in a
sports scene or fast-moving vehicles, you can adjust the shutter speed to
capture the action without blurring or to heighten the sense of movement by
blurring the action. To capture fast-moving action precisely without blurring,
set the shutter speed to higher value. On the other hand, if you want your
photograph to have a sense of motion, set the shutter speed to a lower value.
This will blur the main subject, while the background remains clear.
