Taking Pictures in M (Scene Recognition) Mode
1
• When setting the side lever to H, the side lever can
zoom faster. In the same way when setting the side
lever to L, the side lever can zoom slower.
• When using the zoom control and side lever simulta-
neously, the zoom control is activated.
2 Focus Lock
Use focus lock (P 38) to focus on subjects that are not
in the focus frame.
Zoom out button
By holding down the zoom out button, you can
switch from zoomed in to zoomed out. It makes it
easy to find the lost subject when zooming in.
Holding the Camera
Hold the camera steady with
both hands and brace your
elbows against your sides.
Shaking or unsteady hands
can blur your shots.
To prevent pictures that are
out of focus or too dark (un-
derexposed), keep your fin-
gers and other objects away
from the lens and flash.
Avoiding Blurred Pictures
If the subject is poorly lit, blurring caused by camera
shake can be reduced using the L IS MODE option
in the setup menu (P 102). In B mode, blur caused
by subject movement is also reduced.
Note that blurring may still occur depending on the
scene.
