Shooting guides
Take pictures frequently to familiarize yourself with the camera. You can start off by taking
pictures of your surrounding subjects like children, flowers or pets. And from the poor quality
pictures you have taken, try to figure out what went wrong. The problems can often be
resolved just by being more observant during shooting.
Focus: Operating the shutter button
Out of focus seems to be the common cause when pictures
taken do not turn out well. In many cases, instead of the
intended focus on the subject, the back or front of the subject
or other objects are focused.
The shutter button can be half-pressed and full pressed. Once
you are able to operate the half-press and full press effectively,
you can even focus accurately on moving subjects.
g“Shooting” (P. 10), “If correct focus cannot be obtained
(Focus lock)” (P. 35)
However, even if the subject is in focus, the picture can
become blurred if the camera moves while the shutter button is
being pressed. Make sure to hold the camera properly so that
it does not shake. The camera is particularly subject to shaking
when using live view to take pictures while viewing the subject
on the monitor. In addition, it may be necessary to use a tripod
to prevent camera shake even when you feel there is sufficient
lighting.
g“Holding the camera” (P. 10)
Besides out of focus and camera shake problems, the motion of the subject will also cause
the picture to blur. Ability to shoot at a shutter speed that matches the motion of the subject is
essential. You can confirm the shutter speed and aperture on the displays of the viewfinder
and monitor when taking pictures by pressing the shutter button halfway. Check out these
displays during your shooting practices.
g“How to use the mode dial” (P. 17), “Preview function” (P. 34), “Live view” (P. 22)
Brightness: Exposure compensation
The camera automatically determines the aperture value and
shutter speed according to the brightness level. This is known
as auto exposure. However, auto exposure alone may not
result in pictures of your expectations. At times like this, you
can adjust the exposure through increasing or decreasing the
exposure value set by the camera’s auto exposure during
shooting.
Increase the exposure when you want the dazzling sensation
of the summer beach or the whiteness of the snow to stand
out. And decrease the exposure when the area to be shot is smaller and brighter compared to
its surrounding area. If you are unsure how much exposure compensation is required, it is
better to take the picture with various settings.
