Tips for getting a clearer photo 
						

							Basic functions  42
     Preventing your subject from being out of focus
It may be difficult to get your subject in focus when:

-there is little contrast between the subject and background (for example, 
when your subject is wearing clothing that is similar in color to the 
background)

-the light source behind the subject is too bright

-the subject is shiny or reflective

-the subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds

-the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame
‡When you capture photos in low light
Turn on the flash. 
(p. 70)

Use the Continuous 
shooting function.   
(p. 51, 85)

Aperture value
The aperture is a hole that lets light into the camera. The aperture housing contains 
thin, metal plates that open and close, widening or narrowing the aperture, and 
controlling the amount of light that enters the camera. The size of the aperture is 
closely related to the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the brighter 
the photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo. Note that the larger the 
aperture value, the smaller the aperture size. For example, an aperture set to 5.6 is 
larger than an aperture set to 11.
S  Small aperture value (The size of the 
aperture is large.)S  Large aperture value (The size of the aperture is small.) Shutter speed
Shutter speed, which is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, refers to 
the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter. A slow shutter speed 
allows more time to let light in. All things being equal, photos are brighter, but fast 
moving objects tend to blur. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed allows less time 
to let light in. Photos are darker, but objects in motion are captured more clearly.
S  Slow shutter speedS  Fast shutter speed
Using the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual mode
Adjust the aperture value or shutter speed to control the exposure of your photos. You can use these options in the Aperture Pr
iority, Shutter Priority, and Manual modes.
