Taking pictures by selecting [WB] (p. 25)
Best results in most environments can normally
be obtained with the AUTO setting, but for some
subjects, you should try experimenting with
different settings. (This is especially true for
sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and
arti cial light settings, and so on.)
Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 19) ash
Use of the ash is also effective for shooting under
uorescent and other arti cial lighting.
Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”
Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 19) to take pictures.
Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity,
noise (small colored spots and color unevenness
that were not in the original image) can occur, and
the image can appear grainy. The resulting image
is grainier than with low ISO sensitivity as well.
