zTip for Using the Self-timer (p. 45)
Normally, the camera shakes a little when you
press the shutter button.
Setting the self-timer to delays the shutter
release for two seconds and allows the camera
to stop shaking, thus preventing a blurred image.
Even better results can be obtained by placing
the camera on a fixed, stable surface or by fixing
the camera onto a tripod.
zTo Shoot a Night Scene without a Subject
(p. 42)
To shot a night scene without any subject in the
foreground, set the flash to .
(A night scene usually consists of light sources in
the night. When shooting with the flash, the light
of the flash will washout these lights, so it is
better to turn the flash off.)
This mode uses a slow shutter speed so always
use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
zAdvanced Technique for the Macro Mode
(p. 44)
Macro mode can make unique images when
used with the zoom function. For example,
shooting a flower at maximum wide angle in
Macro mode allows the camera to bring both the
flower and the background into focus. However,
shooting at maximum telephoto can throw the
background out of focus to make the flower stand
out.
zHow to Adjust the Exposure (p. 83)
This camera automatically adjusts the exposure
to shoot images with the optimal brightness.
However, recorded images may sometimes be
brighter or darker than the actual image
depending on the shooting conditions. If this
happens, adjust the exposure compensation
manually.
