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.
• Take pictures using the touch screen.
•  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 and all the way down” (P. 9)
•  Using the face priority AF/eye priority AF (P. 44).
•  Using the AF tracking (P. 43). 
The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it cont\
inuously.
•  Taking a picture of a shadowy subject 
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier. [AF Illuminat.] (P. 59)
•  Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is dif fi cult 
In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the sh\
utter button halfway 
down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose t\
he shot, and take 
the picture.
Subject with low contrast Excessively bright light in  center of frameSubject containing no vertical 
lines *1
Subjects at different 
distances*1Fast-moving subject
Subject not inside AF area
*1  It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, a\
nd then 
returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.
Camera shake
Taking pictures without camera shake.
• Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (P. 36)  
The image pickup device shifts to correct for camera shake even if the I\
SO sensitivity 
is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom 
magni fi cation.
•  Select [j Sport] in the scene mode (P. 20)  
The [j 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 s\
hutter speed even at 
locations where a  fl ash cannot be used. “ISO” (P. 44)
