• To avoid noise, we recommend
decreasing the ISO sensitivity (P72) or
setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P78)
(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the
camera is shipped. Therefore, when
taking pictures indoors etc. the ISO
sensitivity increases.)
∫ Tips for taking good pictures
• Hold the camera gently with both hands,
keep your arms still at your side and stand
with your feet slightly apart.
• Make sure the camera does not shake
when you press the shutter button.
• Do not cover the photo flash or the AF
assist lamp with your fingers or other
objects.
• Do not touch the front of the lens.
• If the LCD monitor screen is difficult to see
because of light from the sun etc. shining
on it, we recommend using your hand or
another object to block the light when
using the camera.
1: When holding the camera sideways
2: When holding the camera vertically
A: Photo flash
B: AF assist lamp
∫ Direction detection function
Pictures recorded with the camera held
vertically are played back vertically
(rotated). (Only when [ROTATE DISP.]
(P83) is set to [ON])
• Pictures may not be displayed vertically if
they were taken with the camera aimed up
or down.
• Pictures cannot be displayed vertically
when playing motion pictures or creating
flip animations.
∫ When you want to take a subject
outside the AF area (AF/AE Lock)
When recording a picture of people with a
composition like the following picture, you
will not be able to focus the camera on the
subject because the people are outside the
AF area.
In this case,
1 Aim the AF area at the subject.
2 Press the shutter button halfway to fix
the focus and the exposure.
• The focus indication lights when the
subject is focused.
3 Press and hold the shutter button
halfway while moving the camera as you
compose the picture.
4 Press the shutter button fully.
• You can repeatedly retry AF/AE lock
before pressing the shutter button fully.
∫ Focusing
• The focus range is 40 cm (1.31 feet) to
¶ (Wide), 2 m (6.56 feet) to ¶ (Tele).
Use macro mode when recording
close-up pictures. (P49)
• If the distance between the camera and
the subject is beyond the focus range of
the camera, the picture may not be
properly focused even if the focus
indication lights.
