Taking Pictures

Taking Pictures in Dimly Lit Locations
When taking pictures under low light conditions, such as during twilight or
at night, the camera shutter must be opened longer to allow more light in.
This camera comes with a special mode A (Night Scene) for taking
pictures when light levels are low. In Night Scene mode, the camera
decreases the shutter speed for optimal exposure to capture beautiful
pictures at night. You can also use this mode to take portraits with night
scenes in the background as the camera will automatically select a long
shutter speed even when using the flash.

Memo• When pictures are taken in dimly lit locations, the shutter must stay open
longer which contributes to camera shake. When using a shutter speed atwhich camera shake is likely to occur, f (camera shake warning) appearson the LCD monitor. To prevent camera shake, use a tripod and the selftimer or remote control function.
• You can also increase the ISO sensitivity setting to take pictures in dimly lit
locations without using the flash. When the ISO sensitivity is increased, theshutter speed also increases, making it easier to prevent camera shake andblurring of the subject. However, noise, which appears as a grainy pattern,
may appear in the picture (p.76).

Selecting a Shooting Mode

Taking Pictures of Your Pet
In Pet mode (E), choose the appropriate icon
depending on whether your pet is dark, light, orin between. The exposure will automatically be
adjusted to produce the best picture. Choosing
either the cat or dog icon does not affect theresulting picture. Choose whichever you prefer.

Taking Pictures of Text

Reducing the Influence of Camera Shake or Blurringof Subjects

Taking Pictures

In the B (Text) mode, sharp photos of text can be taken. This mode ishandy for saving important documents as images or for when text is too
small for reading. You can also select from color, color reversed, black
and white, or black and white reversed to match the display or state of thetext.

In the c (Digital SR) Mode, photos can be taken at a higher ISO
sensitivity which results in reduced blurring. In this mode, the shutter
speed and aperture are automatically set to the appropriate values. Use
this mode in photographic scenes where camera shake or blurring of thesubject may occur due to low light levels.
The ISO sensitivity is fixed to AUTO3200 in the Digital SR mode.

Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness, and Color Tone

Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness,
and Color Tone
The camera will automatically adjust settings such as brightness andcolor tone to capture pictures and movies as optimally as possible. If,
however, you want to use creative effects, you will need to customize theshooting functions. This section explains the various built-in functions that
can help you to capture better pictures and movies.
Size and Quality Level
Set the size and quality level according to how you intend to use thepictures or movies (p.54).

Taking Pictures

Brightness
The brightness (exposure) of a picture is determined by the amount of lightentering the camera lens (aperture) and the length of time the light is allowed
to enter (shutter speed). If the brightness of a picture is not at the desired level,
one solution is to adjust the setting using the EV compensation function (p.59).
The AE metering function is also helpful in allowing you to select themetering method to measure proper brightness under different shooting
situations (p.61).
When you take a picture in a dimly lit location, using the flash to illuminate
the subject is a basic technique (p.62). But if you want a more natural
feeling and do not want to use the flash, adjusting the ISO sensitivity(p.76) can help produce a properly exposed image.
Color Balance (White Balance)
Use the white balance setting if the color balance of the image is not
pleasing, or if you want to give the picture a bluish or reddish look (p.64).
Sharpness, Saturation, and Contrast
Sharpness, saturation and contrast settings are available in three levels(p.66) for sharpening or softening the outlines of an image, enhancing its
vividness, and adjusting the image contrast.
Automatically Changing the Shooting Settings When Taking
Pictures (Auto Bracket)
Use the Auto Bracket setting to take three continuous pictures with theshooting settings (exposure, white balance, sharpness, saturation, andcontrast) automatically changed when the shutter release button ispressed. (p.67)

Using the Histogram3

This camera has a function for displaying a graph (histogram) that shows
the tonal range of your scene with the darkest areas on the left and thebrightest ones to the right. The height of the points along the graph show
the number of pixels at each brightness value.
The shape of the histogram, which can be viewed before and after
shooting, shows the brightness and contrast of the picture so you candecide if you want to use EV compensation to improve it.
1 “Displaying Shooting Information in Capture Mode” (p.41), “Displaying
Shooting Information” (p.88)

Taking Pictures

Understanding Brightness
Usually, if the exposure is correct, the graph peaks in the middle. If theimage is too dark, the peak is on the left side, and if it is too bright, thepeak is on the right side.
Dark image

Correct image

Bright image

When the image is too dark, the part to the left is cut off (dark portions)and when the image is too bright, the part to the right is cut off (bright
portions).
With EV compensation, you can adjust the exposure so that the
distribution is contained within the graph without the graph peaking on theleft or right side, thereby preventing pictures that are too dark or too light.

Understanding Contrast

60

The graph peaks gradually for images in which
contrast is balanced. The graph peaks on bothsides but sinks in the middle for images with alarge difference in contrast and low amounts of
mid-level brightness.

Memo3
Taking Pictures• The approximate range of the flash is 0.15 m to 6 m when not using thezoom (wide-angle setting) (factory default setting. The approximate range ofthe flash is 0.4 m to 3 m when using the 3× optical zoom (telephoto setting)).
If the subject is too far from the camera, it will not be illuminated by the flash.
Additionally, if the subject is too close to the camera, exposure will not becorrectly adjusted. Increase the ISO sensitivity (p.76) to extend the effective
range of the flash.
• You can also increase the ISO sensitivity setting to take pictures in dimly lit
locations without using the flash. When the ISO sensitivity is increased, theshutter speed also increases, making it easier to prevent camera shake andblurring of the subject. However, you may notice increased noise, whichlooks like a grainy pattern, in the picture (p.76).
• The flash mode is fixed at a (Flash Off) when the shooting mode is set to
C (Movie), the drive mode is set to 1 (Cont. Shooting), the Auto Bracket
is set to l (Exposure), or the focus mode is set to s (Infinity).
• Taking pictures using the flash in dark locations may cause the subject’s
eyes to appear red in the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when
the light from the flash is reflected in the subject’s eyes. Setting the flash
mode to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is an effective wayof preventing red eyes. It can be also reduced by illuminating the areaaround the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out. If thesubject’s eyes still appear red despite such precautions, they can becorrected by the red-eye compensation function later (p.128).
• Pre-flashes discharge when the flash mode is set to c (Auto + Red-eye) ord (Flash On + Red-eye).

Focusing
The camera automatically focuses on your subject when you press the
shutter release button halfway. If, however, you want to quickly focus ona specific point, you will need to select one of the camera’s focus modes.
This section explains the various focusing settings.

Choosing the Focusing Range
Controlling the range of the lens motion (focus range).
When [Focus limit] (p.75) is turned “On”, macro photography is limited toclose ups and normal photography is limited to the normal range out tolong distances.

Taking Pictures

Choosing the Focusing Area
By default, the camera focuses on the closest object in the middle of the
focus frame. Select another focusing option if you want the camera tofocus on a different point (p.74).
Subjects Difficult to Focus On
The camera may not be able to focus under the following conditions. In
this case, lock the focus on an object the same distance away as the
subject (by pressing the shutter release button halfway), then aim thecamera at your subject and press the shutter release button fully.
• Objects that lack contrast such as a blue sky or white wall
• Dark places or objects, or conditions that prevent light being reflectedback• Horizontal lines or intricate patterns• Fast moving objects• When there is an object in the foreground and an object in the
background in the same picture• Strongly reflected light or strong backlighting (bright background)70

Focusing

Focusing in Dimly Lit Locations
By default, the camera is set to use the auxiliary AF light for easier
focusing in dimly lit locations (p.75).

Changing the Depth of Field
By zooming in on your subject from a close distance, you can narrow thedepth of field and create a blurred background (p.50).

3
Taking Pictures

Preventing Camera Shake and Blurring of the Subject
There are several solutions to prevent inadvertent camera movement(camera shake) and blurring of the subject. Increasing the ISO sensitivity(p.76) or using the flash (p.62) are possible solutions as the camera thentakes pictures at higher shutter speeds. Higher shutter speeds are
effective for preventing both camera shake and blurring of the subject.
When the Digital SR Mode is used, an ISO sensitivity higher than that ofother Capture Modes is set, so camera shake is less likely to occur. (p.49)
You can check if camera shake is likely to occur when f (camera
shake warning) appears on the LCD monitor. Using a tripod and the selftimer (p.79) or remote control function (p.80) is recommended especiallywhen camera shake is likely to occur.
