Shooting techniques for different targets
DIGITAL ZOOM
For shooting at a low angle, you can attach the
accessory handle (P16) and use the
START/STOP button on the lens.
The recording operation of this button can be
set using the FRONT S/S INHIBIT item on the
SW MODE screen. (P76)
To check what you have shot straight away,
conduct a rec check (P14).
To find specific scenes among the ones that you
have shot so far, conduct an image search while
the shooting pause mode is established.
Image search comes in handy when you want to
continue shooting from a particular scene you
have found (shooting with frame-to-frame
continuity).
