43 2 Basic Shooting and Image Playback This chapter explains how to use the Basic Zone modes on the Mode Dial for best results and how to playback images. With the Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot and the camera sets everything automatically .
44 1 Set the Mode Dial to < 1 >. 2 Aim any AF point over the subject. All the AF points will operate, and focus will generally be achieved at the AF point covering the closest object. Aiming the center AF point over the subject will make focusing easier .
45 1 Fully Automatic Shooting The focus conf irmation li ght < o > blinks and focus is not achieved. Aim the AF point over an area having good contrast between light and dark, then press the shutter button halfway . (p.162) If you are too close to the subject, move away and try again.
46 Depending on the scene, position the subjec t toward the left or right to create a balanced background and good perspective. In the < 1 > (Full Auto) mode, while you press the shutter button halfway to focus a still subject, t he focus will be locked.
47 The < 2 > (Portrait) mode blurs t he background to make the human subject stand out. It also makes flesh tones and the hair look softer than with the < 1 > (Full Auto) mode. The farther the distance between the subject and backgrou nd, the better .
48 Use the < 3 > (Landscape) mode for wide scenery , night scenes, or to have everything in focus from near to far. The greens and blues also become more vivid and sharp than with < 1 > (Full Auto). With a zoom lens, use t he wide-angle end.
49 When you want to photograph flowers or small things up close, use the < 4 > (Close-up) mode. T o make small things appear much larger , use a macro lens (sold separately). Use a simple background . A simple background makes the flower , etc., stand out better .
50 T o photograph a moving subject, whet her it is a child running or a moving vehicle, use the < 5 > (Sports) mode. Use a tel ephoto lens . Using a telephoto lens is recommend ed so you can shoot fr om afar . Use the center AF poin t to focus. Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter button halfway to auto focus.
51 T o shoot someone at night and obtain a natural-looking exposure in the background, use the < 6 > (Night Portrait) mode. Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide -angle end to obtain a wide night view . Use a tripod to prevent camera shake .
52 In places where flash photography is prohib ited, use the < 7 > (Flash Off) mode. This mode is also effe ctive for candlelight scenes when you want to obtain the candlelight effect. If the numeric display in th e viewfinder blinks, take care to prevent camera shake.
53 1 Press the < Y i Q > button. 2 Select the self-timer . Press the < U > key to select the desired self-timer , then press < 0 >. Q : 10-sec. self-timer The remote control can also be used. (p.164) l : 2-s ec. self-timer N (p.94) q : 10-sec.

70 Y ou can either freeze the action or create motion b lur with the < s > (Shutter-priority AE) mode on the Mode Dial. * < s > stands for T ime value. 1 Set the Mode Dial to < s >. 2 Set the desired shutter speed. See “Shooting Ti ps” for advice on setting the shutter speed.
71 s : Action Shots T o fre eze the action or moving subject . Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/500 sec. to 1/4000 sec. T o blur a run ning child or animal givin g the impression of fast movement. Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/30 sec. to 1/250 sec.
72 T o obtain a blurry background or to make everything near and far look sharp, set the Mode Dial to < f > (Aperture-pr iority AE) to adjust the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). *< f > stands for Apertu re value which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside the lens.
73 f : Changing the Depth of Field When using a high ape rture, note that camera shake can occur in low light scenes. A higher aperture 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.
f : Changing the Depth of Field 74 T o obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set to match the set aperture (autoflash exposure). The shutter speed will set automatically between 30 sec. - 1/200 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness.
75 Y ou can set bot h the shutt er speed and apert ure as desired . With fl ash, the flash expo sure will be set au tomatically to m atch the apertu re that was set. The flash sy nc speed can be se t to bulb, or fro m 30 sec. to 1/ 200 sec. * < a > stands for Manual.
76 Objects in the foreground and background will be in focus automatically . All the AF points will function to detect the subject, and the aperture required to attain the necessary depth of field will be set automatically . * < 8 > stands for Auto-Dep th of field.
77 The metering mode is the method of measuring the brightness of the subject. Normally , evaluativ e metering is recommended. 1 Press the < W Q > button. X [ Metering mode ] will appear. 2 Select the metering mode . Press the < V > key to select the metering mode, then press < 0 >.
78 Exposure compensation is used to alter the standard exposure set by the camera. Y ou can make the image look brighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased expos ure) .
