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.

Basic photography

If images are blurred even when the autofocus is used

Your camera employs an autofocus function. When you snap a picture using

the autofocus, the camera automatically adjusts the settings so that the

image will be in focus. If you are getting blurred images even when using the

autofocus, one or more of the following might be the reason.

k How the autofocus works

The autofocus is activated when the shutter button is lightly touched. Press

the shutter button slightly, and the target mark will appear on the monitor to

indicate that the autofocus has been activated. Next, continue to gently press

the shutter button all the way to snap the picture. This two-step method is the

way to ensure that your photos are perfectly focused.

k Reasons for unfocused images

1 The shutter button was pressed before the image was focused.

2 After the image was focused, the subject moved.

h Even if camera focuses the subject once, if the distance between the

camera and the subject is changed, the subject may become out of

focus.

3 The focus setting is not set for the correct distance.

h If you shoot a close-up subject with the camera set to the normal focus

mode, or if you shoot a subject at normal distance with the camera set

to the macro (close-up) mode (page 63), the image will not be in focus.

k Preventing blurred images

1 Confirm that the camera is set to the correct focus mode for your subject.

2 Hold the camera correctly, and lightly touch the shutter button.

3 Wait for the target mark to appear in the monitor, and holding the camera

steady, gently continue to press the shutter button all the way down.

Following these steps for a gentle but firm pressing of the shutter button will

ensure that you get beautifully focused photos.
