Photographing a moving subject

Situation: You would like to snap an action shot of a moving child or pet. The

autofocus is activated, but because the subject is moving, the image may be

blurred. In particular, when the distance between the camera and the subject

is changing, it is difficult to lock the focus on the subject. Here are some hints

for successfully capturing images of moving subjects.

k Reasons for unfocused images

When the [ ] button is gently pressed halfway, the camera’s autofocus

works by determining the distance between the camera and the subject.

Once the subject is in focus, if it then moves before the picture is snapped,

the image may be out of focus. This often happens when you once lock the

focus on a subject and then wait for the right moment to snap the picture.

And, conversely, a blurred image may result if you press the [ ] button all

the way in one step in an attempt to quickly capture an action scene, thus

failing to activate the autofocus in time.

k Preventing blurred images (How to use the manual focus [page 89])

In addition to the autofocus, a manual focus mode is also incorporated in your

camera. In the autofocus mode, the distance between the camera and the

subject is automatically determined when you press the [ ] button halfway.

In contrast to this, with the manual focus mode, you manually set the focus by

specifying the correct distance between the camera and the subject before

taking the picture.

k How to photograph a moving subject

1 Set the camera’s focus mode to the manual focus. Set the focus distance

to the correct distance between the camera and the subject.

2 When the subject is at the set focus distance, gently press the [ ]

button all the way down.

i Images can be quickly captured without waiting for the autofocus to

activate.

i Because you are presetting the focus distance, the focus can be more

accurate.

i When photographing a moving subject, press the [ ] button just before

the subject reaches the focus distance, and the shutter will be released

when the subject is at the correct distance.

i Use manual focus to avoid incorrectly focused images when there is an

object between the camera and the subject you wish to focus on.
