      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.

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 Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual modes.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.
  Slow shutter speed  Fast shutter speed
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.

Small aperture value (The size of 
the aperture is large.)  Large aperture value (The size of 
the aperture is small.)

6 Press [Shutter] to capture the photo.
When you set the ISO option to Auto , the shutter speed may not change 
automatically to match the aperture value. In this case, the camera finds an 
appropriate exposure value by changing the ISO option automatically when you 
capture a photo. To set the ISO option manually, press [
m], and then select ISO  
→  an option.
