4 Mode: Skew Correct
To take pictures in skew correct mode, frame the subject
so that it occupies as much of the frame as possible and
press the shutter-release button to take the photograph.
If the camera is able to detect an object that can be used
to correct perspective, a message will be displayed with
the object shown by an orange frame. The camera can
detect up to five objects; to select a different object, press
$, or press ! to record the photograph without correct-
ing perspective. If the camera is unable to detect a suit-
able subject, an error message will be displayed and the
photograph will be recorded without modification.
Caution: Skew Correct Mode
The camera records two images each time the shutter is released:
the unmodified photograph and a copy that has been processed
to correct perspective. No photograph will be taken if memory is
insufficient to record two images. The camera may be unable to
correct perspective if:
• The subject is out of focus.
• The four edges of the subject are not clearly visible.
• There is little contrast between the subject and the background.
• The background contains many fine details.
Tip: Skew Correction
The Skew Correction option in the playback menu can be used to
correct perspective in existing photographs (page 98).
