Page 97: Hints For Taking Pictures
HINTS FOR TAKING PICTURES Taking great pictures in difficult surroundings is easier than you might think. By keeping a few points in mind and choosing the correct settings, you can create photos that you'll be proud to display and share. If images are blurred even when the autofocus is used Your camera employs an autofocus function.
Page 98 HINTS FOR TAKING PICTURES Photographing a moving subject Situation: You would like to snap an action shot of a moving child or pet. The autofocus is activated, but because the subject is moving, the image may be blurred. In particular, when the distance between the camera and the subject is changing, it is difficult to lock the focus on the subject.
Page 99 Shooting portraits (portrait mode |) Points: • Choose a background that doesn't detract from your subject. • Move in close to your subject. • Pay attention to lighting and how it affects your subject. NOTE • if the background is distracting, it will not show your subject to his best advantage.
Page 100 HINTS FOR TAKING PICTURES Night photography (night view portrait mode I_]) Points: • Avoid camera shake. • Increase the ISO sensitivity. NOTE • Camera shutter speed during night photography is considerable slower, so there is a much greater chance that your photographed images will be blurry.
