BEFORE TAKING PICTURES
œ
Fast-moving subjects
Use the focus-lock function to lock the
focus on an object at the same distance
as the desired subject.
Hints for taking pictures
Operational sound
œ
The camera can be set so that a sound is heard, for example, when the
shutter release button, SET button, or MENU button is pressed (see page
162).
Saving battery pack power
œ
When you take pictures without using the LCD monitor, you can slow down
the rate of battery pack consumption (see page 74).
Immediate viewing of captured images
œ
After taking a picture, you can move the main switch to [
Ô
] to view the
last image captured.
Quick exposure correction setting (EXPERT mode only)
œ
When a Shooting Setting Screen or Shooting Information Screen is not
shown, press [
d
] or [
c
] on the arrow button to immediately access the
exposure correction icon and exposure correction bar, and adjust the
setting. (The icon will not appear in cases where the setting cannot be
adjusted.) The exposure correction icon and exposure correction bar are
canceled when the MENU button is pressed (see page 122).
Where is the image and audio data saved?
œ
All the image and sound data is recorded on the card installed in the
camera (see page 148).
Taking pictures in backlight conditions...
œ
When taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to
the characteristics of the lens, light lines or patterns (flare phenomenon)
may appear in the captured image. In this situation, it is recommended that
you avoid taking pictures with the subject lit from behind.
