Shooting portraits (portrait mode
>
)
Points:
i
Choose a background that doesn’t detract from your subject.
i
Move in close to your subject.
i
Pay attention to lighting and how it affects your subject.
NOTE
i
If the background is distracting, it will not show your subject to his best
advantage. Move in closer to your subject or zoom in so that the
background does not compete with the subject.
i
In portrait photography your subject is clearly the central figure, so try
techniques that allow the subject to stand out.
i
If light is coming from behind your subject (backlit), his face will appear
dark. You can get a better picture by using the flash, for example, or
changing the exposure compensation setting.
Photographing moving subjects (sports mode
a
)
Points:
i
Match the camera’s movement with that of the subject.
i
Set the zoom to the wide end (wide-angle).
i
Don’t be too hesitant to press the [
] button, or you’ll miss the action.
NOTE
i
Tips to not missing those great action shots: Make sure you’re holding the
camera correctly. Keep the subject in the lens at all times, moving the
camera with him while waiting for the right shot. Move your whole body–not
just your arms–with the camera while shooting.
i
Blurred images are more likely when the zoom is set to the tele end than
the wide end. Set the zoom as close as possible to the wide end.
i
Learn to press the [
] button quickly yet smoothly the instant your photo
chance occurs.
