s: Conveying the Subject’s Movement
 To freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject
Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec.
  To blur a running child or animal and convey an impression of 
motion
Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec. Follow 
the moving subject through the viewfinder and press the shutter 
button to take the picture. If you use a telephoto lens, hold it steady 
to prevent camera shake.
  To blur a flowing river or fountain
Use a slow shutter...

To blur the background or to make everything near and far look sharp, 
set the Mode Dial to  (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of 
field (range of acceptable focus).
*  stands for Aperture value, which is the si ze of the diaphragm hole inside the lens.
1Set the Mode Dial to .
2Set the desired aperture.
 The higher the f/number, the wider 
the depth of field where sharper focus 
is obtained in both the foreground 
and background.
  Turning the < 6> dial to the right will 
set a higher...

113
f: Changing the Depth of Field
 When using an aperture with a high f/number or shooting in low 
light scenes, note that camera shake can occur.
A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower. 
Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such 
cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a 
tripod.
  The depth of field depends not only on the aperture, but also on 
the lens and on the subject distance.
Since wide-angle lenses have a wide depth of...

f: Changing the Depth of Field
To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set 
automatically to match the set aperture (autoflash exposure). The 
shutter speed will be set automatically between 1/200 sec. - 30 sec. to 
suit the scene’s brightness.
In low light, the main subject is exposed with the automatic flash, and 
the background is exposed with a slow  shutter speed set automatically. 
Both the subject and background look properly exposed (automatic 
slow-speed flash sync). If...

You can set both the shutter speed and aperture manually as desired. 
While referring to the exposure level  indicator in the viewfinder, you can 
set the exposure as desired. This  method is called manual exposure.
*  stands for Manual.
1Set the Mode Dial to < a>.
2Set the ISO speed (p.92).
3Set the shutter speed and aperture.
  To set the shutter speed, turn the 
 dial.
 
To set the aperture, hold down the 
 button and turn the  dial.

a: Manual Exposure
To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set 
automatically (autoflash exposure)  to match the manually-set aperture. 
The shutter speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec. or < BULB>.
A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open 
for as long as you hold down the shutter 
button. It can be used to photograph 
fireworks and other subjects requiring 
long exposures.
In step 3 on the preceding page, turn the 
< 6 > dial to the left to set < BULB>.

Four methods (metering modes) to measure the subject’s brightness 
are provided. Normally, evaluative metering is recommended.
In Basic Zone modes, evaluative metering is set automatically.
1Select [Metering mode].
  Under the [z 2] tab, select [Metering 
mode ], then press < 0>.
2Set the metering mode.
  Select the metering mode, then press

q Evaluative metering 
This is a general-purpose metering mode suited 
even for backlit subjects. The camera sets the 
exposure automatically to suit the...

q Changing the Metering Mode N
e Center-weighted average metering
The brightness is metered at the image center 
and then averaged for the entire scene. This 
metering mode is for advanced users.
  With  q (evaluative metering) and  e (center-weighted average 
metering), the metering range is almost the same as with viewfinder 
shooting.
  With  w (partial metering) and  r (spot metering), the metering 
range slightly differs from view finder shooting. The approximate 
metering ranges are as shown...

Set exposure compensation if the exposure (without flash) does not come out 
as desired. This feature can be used in Creative Zone modes (except <
a>). You can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
Making it brighter:Hold down the < O> button and 
turn the < 6> dial to the right. 
(Increased exposure)
Making it darker: Hold down the < O> button and 
turn the < 6> dial to the left. 
(Decreased exposure)

level is displayed on the...

Setting Exposure CompensationN
Set flash exposure compensation if  the flash exposure of the subject 
does not come out as desired. You can set the exposure compensation 
up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
1Press the  button. ( 7 )
