Shooting – The Basics
1 Turn the mode dial
and set the icon of
the function you
wish to use to .
z Shooting procedures are
the same as for the
mode (p. 33).
and Shooting Modes
Always use a tripod to prevent camera
shake.
z See page 152 for settings that can be
changed in this mode.
z Tips for each function:
Portrait Mode
To best achieve the effect of the
background gradually fading, compose
the image so that the upper half of the
subject’s body fills most of the viewfinder
or LCD monitor.
The background gets increasingly
indistinct the more you adjust the focal
length toward telephoto.
Landscape Mode
The icon (camera shake warning)
may appear on the LCD monitor since
slower shutter speeds are frequently
used in this mode. If this happens, affix
the camera to a tripod.
Night Scene Mode
The shutter speed slows down. Even if
you use the flash, tell your subjects not to
move for a few moments.
Using the mode in daylight will
produce an effect similar to that of the
mode.
z Fast Shutter
Noise in the recorded image may
increase if you shoot dark subjects.
