If the subject is outside the flash range (p.
51), overexposure may result. To prevent
the flash from firing, set the flash mode to
flash cancel (p. 28).
Always use the monitor to frame the image.
The use of a tripod is recommended. Macro
can be used with the self-timer, see below.
Landscape - focus is optimized for scenic pictures. The use of a tripod is recommended
in in twilight or overcast conditions as shutter speeds can be long. The flash is canceled
with this focus mode. Landscape can be used with the self-timer.
Camera shake is more noticeable with long exposures or close-up pictures. In these situations,
place the camera on a tripod and make the exposure with the self-timer to prevent shaking the
camera.
