Night photography (night view portrait mode /)
Points:
iAvoid camera shake.
iIncrease the ISO sensitivity.
NOTE
iCamera shutter speed during night photography is considerable slower, so
there is a much greater chance that your photographed images will be
blurry. Use a tripod whenever possible, or if a tripod is not available, you
can lean against a wall or pillar to help stabilize the camera.
iYou can photograph your subject with the night scene in the background by
using the flash. Be careful not to shoot too close to the subject, however, or
your subject’s face will appear too bright.
iAfter the flash operates, keep the camera and the subjects motionless for
about 2 seconds.
Photographing scenery (landscape mode +)
Points:
iShoot using a high resolution.
iFor zoom photography, use the optical zoom.
iPay attention to picture composition.
NOTE
iWhen shooting with a wide-angle setting, or if you intend to enlarge the
photo, the higher the resolution, the better.
iTo zoom in on distant scenery, it’s better to use the optical zoom. Using the
digital zoom produces a coarser image. Hold the camera securely, keeping
your elbows close to your body and making sure the camera is stable.
Using a tripod or other means of stabilizing the camera will increase the
likelihood of getting a clear photo.
iDon’t forget to pay attention to picture composition; note perspective and
be aware of how the placement of objects affects the scene.
