Tips for better pictures
Zoom
When you use longer zoom ranges, place the camera on a flat, steady surface 
or ideally use a tripod.
Exposure compensation
When you want to control the exposure of backlit subjects or take images in 
varied light, use exposure compensation. 
If the picture is too light, decrease (–) the setting; if it’s too dark, increase (+) 
the setting. Use the Jog dial to access this function (see page 19).

Aperture and shutter speed (Manual mode)
You can manually choose the best combination of lens aperture (f-number) 
and shutter speed to obtain the appropriate exposure compensation for your 
particular setting. 
Images have a greater focus range with a larger f-number, such as f/8. But it is 
not the best choice when shooting a moving object, so a smaller f-number is 
preferred, such as f/2.8.

Fill flash
Fill flash is included on your camera (see page 21), and is a popular feature. 
Use fill flash for sunny-day portraits to fill in those dark shadows under the 
eyes, nose, or under the rim of a baseball hat. It’s also useful for side- and 
back-lit scenes with nearby people or objects with detail you want to reveal. 
Use Exposure Compensation, or Flash Compensation when needed, by 
adjusting the Jog dial (see page 18).
Close ups with a close-up mode
The flower icon  on the camera indicates you have Close-up mode. Once in 
Close-up mode, your camera takes sharp pictures at close range (see 
page 24). The camera automatically sets the focus distance depending on the 
zoom position. Use available light instead of the flash, if possible. 
Close-up telephoto lets you keep your distance from the subject when you 
want to capture butterflies and bees on flowers without disturbing them.
