Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture that 
you envision, refer to the information below.
 Focusing
“Focusing on the subject” 
● Taking a picture of a subject not in the 
center of the monitor
After focusing on an object at the same 
distance as the subject, compose the shot, and 
take the picture.
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 9)
 
● Set [AF Mode] (p. 31) to [Face/iESP]
 
● Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 31)
The camera tracks the subject movement 
automatically to focus on it continuously.
 
● Taking a picture of a shadowy subject 
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing 
easier. [AF Illuminat.] (p. 32)
 
● Taking a picture of subjects where 
autofocus is dif fi cult
In the following cases, after focusing on an 
object (by pressing the shutter button halfway 
down) with high contrast at the same distance 
as the subject, compose the shot, and take 
the picture. Subjects with low contrastWhen extremely bright objects 
appear in the center of the  monitor
Object with no vertical lines*1
When objects are at different  distances
Fast-moving object
The subject is not in the center of the frame
*1  It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, and then returning 
to the horizontal position to take the picture. 
						

							64EN
Camera shake
“Taking pictures without camera shake” 
● Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] 
(p. 32)
The image pickup device
*1 shifts to correct for 
camera shake even if the ISO sensitivity is not 
increased. This function is also effective when 
taking pictures at a high zoom magni fi cation.
*1   A device that takes light received through the 
lens and converts it into electric signals.
 
● Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode] 
(p. 35)
 
● Select [C Sport] in the scene mode (p. 13)
The [C Sport] mode uses a fast shutter speed 
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving 
subject.
 
● Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures 
can be taken at a high shutter speed even at 
locations where a  fl ash cannot be used.
“ISO sensitivity” (p. 26)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”  
● Taking pictures of a subject against a 
backlight
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when 
shot against backlight.
[Shadow Adjust] (p. 30)
[h Backlight HDR] (p. 13)  
● Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 31)
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face 
against backlight, and the face is brightened.
 
● Taking pictures using [ n] for [ESP/n] 
(p. 31)
Brightness is matched with a subject in the 
center of the screen and the image is not 
affected by background light.
 
● Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 25)  fl ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
 
● Taking pictures of a white beach or snow 
scene
Select [q Beach & Snow] in the scene mode 
(p. 13).
 
● Taking pictures using exposure 
compensation (p. 25)
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen 
for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures 
of white subjects (such as snow) results in 
images that are darker than the actual subject. 
Use the exposure compensation to adjust in 
the positive (+) direction to express whites as 
they appear. When taking pictures of black 
subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to 
adjust in the negative (-) direction. 
						

							65EN
Color hue
“Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as 
they appear” 
● Taking pictures by selecting white balance 
(p. 25)
Best results in most environments can 
normally be obtained with the [WB Auto] 
setting, but for some subjects, you should try 
experimenting with different settings. (This 
is especially true for sunshade under a clear 
sky, mixed natural and arti fi cial light settings, 
and so on.)
Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”
 
● Taking pictures with the optical zoom or 
super-resolution zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 32) to take pictures.
 
● Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
If the picture is taken with a high ISO 
sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and 
color unevenness that were not in the original 
image) can occur, and the image can appear 
grainy. 
“ISO sensitivity” (p. 26)
Batteries
“Making batteries last longer”
 
● Set [Power Save] (p. 46) to [On]
Playback/Editing tips
Playback
“Playing images in the internal memory and card”
 
● Remove the card and display the images in 
internal memory
 
● “Inserting and removing the battery and 
card (commercially available)” (p. 4)
“Viewing images with high picture quality on a 
high-de fi nition TV”
 
● Connect the camera to the TV using an 
HDMI cable (sold separately)
 
● “Playing back images on a TV  d [TV Out]” 
(p. 44)
Editing
“Erasing the sound recorded to a still image”
 
● Record over the sound with silence when 
playing back the image
