Cleaning the camera
Camera lens and display
Use a blower brush to remove dust, and then wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth. If any dust
remains, apply lens cleaning liquid to a lens cleaning paper, and wipe gently.
Image sensor
Depending on different shooting conditions, dust may appear in photos because the image
sensor is exposed to the external environment. This problem is normal, and the exposure to
dust occurs in everyday use of the camera. You can remove dust from the sensor by operating
the sensor cleaning function. (p. 92) If dust remains after cleaning the sensor, contact a
service center. Do not insert the blower into the mounting opening of the lens.
Camera body
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use benzene, thinners, or alcohol to clean the device. These solutions can
damage the device or cause it to malfunction.

Shooting postures
A correct posture for stabilising the camera is necessary for taking a good photo. Even if you
hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight
and remain still to maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a slow shutter
speed, hold your breath to minimise body movement.
Holding the camera
Hold the camera with your right hand and place you right index finger on the Shutter button.
Place your left hand under the lens for support.

Standing photography
Compose your shot, stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length apart, and keep your
elbows pointed down.
Crouching photography
Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and keep a straight posture.

Aperture
The aperture, a hole that controls the amount of light that enters the camera, is one of the
three factors that determine the exposure. The aperture housing contains thin and metal
plates that open and close to let light through the aperture and into 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.
Darker photo
(aperture opened slightly)
Brighter photo
(aperture opened wide)
The size of the aperture is represented by a value known as an F-number. The f-number
represents the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens with a
50 mm focal length has an f-number of F2, the diameter of the aperture is 25 mm. (50 mm/25
mm=F2) The smaller the f-number, the greater the size of the aperture.
The opening in the aperture is described as the exposure value (EV). Increasing the exposure
value (+1 EV) means the amount of light doubles. Decreasing the exposure value (-1 EV)
means the amount of light halves. You can also use the exposure compensation feature to
fine-tune the amount of light by subdividing exposure values into 1/2, 1/3 EV, and so on.

Aperture value and the depth of field
You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by controlling the aperture. It is closely
related to the depth of field (DOF), which can be expressed as small or large.
A photo with a large DOF A photo with a small DOF
The aperture housing contains several blades. These blades move together and control the
amount of light passing through the centre of the aperture. The number of blades also affects
the shape of light when shooting night scenes. If an aperture has an even number of blades,
light divides into an equal number of sections. If the number of blades is odd, the number of
sections is double the number of blades.
For example, an aperture with 8 blades divides light into 8 sections and an aperture with 7
blades into 14 sections.

Shutter speed
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, and it is an
important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes
through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor.
Usually, the shutter speed is manually adjustable. The measurement of the shutter speed is
the exposure value (EV), which is marked in intervals of 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/4 s, 1/8 s, 1/15 s, 1/1000 s,
1/2000 s, and so on.

Shutter speed
Therefore, the faster the shutter speed, the less light will be let in. Likewise, the slower the
shutter speed, the more light will be let in.
As the photos below illustrate, a slow shutter speed allows more time to let light in, so the
photo becomes brighter. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed allows less time to let light
in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.

ISO sensitivity
The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the camera. This sensitivity
is based on international film standards, known as ISO standards. On digital cameras, this
sensitivity rating is used to represent the sensitivity of the digital mechanism that captures
the image.
ISO sensitivity doubles as the number doubles. For example, an ISO 200 setting is capable
of taking photos at twice the speed of an ISO 100 setting. However, higher ISO settings can
result in noise. As a general rule, it is best to use a low ISO setting to prevent noise in your
photos, unless you are shooting in darkened environments or at night.
Changes in the quality and brightness according to ISO sensitivity
Because a low ISO sensitivity means the camera will be less sensitive to light, you need more
light to have an optimal exposure. When using a low ISO sensitivity, open the aperture more
or reduce the shutter speed to allow more light to enter the camera. For example, on a sunny
day when light is abundant, a low ISO sensitivity does not require a slow shutter speed.
However, in a dark place or at night, a low ISO sensitivity and a slow shutter speed will result
in a blurry photo.

How the aperture setting, shutter speed, and
ISO sensitivity control exposure
The aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity are closely interconnected in
photography. The aperture setting controls the opening that regulates the light that enters
the camera, while the shutter speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to
enter. ISO sensitivity determines the speed at which the film reacts to light. Together, these
three aspects are described as the triangle of exposure.
A change in shutter speed, aperture value, or ISO sensitivity can be offset by adjustments to
the others to maintain the amount of light. The results, however, change according to the
settings. For example, shutter speed is useful in expressing movement, the aperture can
control the depth of field, and the ISO sensitivity can control the graininess of a photo.

Correlation between focal length, angle, and
perspective
Focal length, which is measured in millimetres, is the distance between the middle of the
lens to its focal point. It affects the angle and perspective of taken photos. A short focal
length translates into a wide angle, which allows you to take wide shots. A long focal length
translates into a narrow angle, which allows you to take telephoto shots.

Look at these photos below and compare the changes.

Normally, a lens with a wide angle is suitable for shooting landscapes and a lens with
a narrow angle is recommended for shooting sports events or portraits.
Depth of field
Portraits or still-life photos mostly acclaimed by people are the ones on which the
background is out of focus so the subject looks pronounced. Depending on the focused
areas, a photo can be blurred or sharpened. This is called ‘a low DOF’ or ‘a high DOF’.
The depth of field is the focused area around the subject. Therefore, a small DOF signifies that
the focused area is narrow and a large DOF means the focused area is wide.
Concepts in Photography
174
A photo with a small DOF, which stresses the subject and makes the rest of it blurred, can be
obtained by using a telescope lens or selecting a low aperture value. Conversely, a photo with
a large DOF which shows all the elements on the photo sharply focused can be achieved by
using a wide angle lens or selecting a high aperture value.
Small depth of feld Large depth of field
What controls out-of-focus effects?
DOF depends on aperture value
The wider the aperture is (namely the lower the aperture value), the lower the DOF becomes.
Under the condition where the other values including the shutter speed and ISO sensitivity
are equal, a low aperture value leads to a photo with a low DOF.

DOF depends on focal length
The longer the focal length is, the lower the DOF gets. A telescope lens with a longer focal
length than a telescope lens with a short focal length is better to take a photo of a low DOF.

DOF depends on the distance between the subject and the camera
The shorter the distance between the subject and the camera is, the lower the DOF gets.
Therefore, taking a photo close to a subject can result in a photo of low DOF.

Composition
It is fun to take a photo of the beauty of world with a camera. No matter how the world is
beautiful, however, a poor composition cannot capture the beauty of it.
When it comes to composition, it is very important to prioritise subjects.
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule
of thirds leads to a good composition.
Rule of thirds
To use the rule of thirds, divide the image into a 3x3 pattern of equal rectangles.
To compose photos that best emphasise the subject, make sure the subject is located at one
of the corners of the centre rectangle.
Concepts in Photography
177
Using the rule of thirds will create photos with stable and compelling compositions. Below
are a few examples.
Photos with two subjects
If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it creates an unbalanced composition. You can
stabilise the photo by capturing a second subject in the opposite corner to balance the
weight of the photo.

Flash
Light is one of the most important components in photography. It’s not easy, however, to
have an enough amount of light anytime and anywhere. Making use of a flash allows you to
optimise light settings and create a variety of effects.
Flash, also known as strobe or speed light, helps to create adequate exposure in low-light
conditions. It is also useful in light-abundant situations. For example, flash can be used in
compensating the exposure of a subject’s shadow or capturing clearly both the subject and
the background in backlit conditions.

Concepts in Photography
179
Flash guide number
The model number of a flash refers to the flash’s power, and the maximum amount of light
created is represented by a value known as a guide number. The bigger the guide number,
the more light is emitted from the flash. The guide number is achieved by multiplying the
distance from the flash to the subject and the aperture value when the ISO sensitivity is set to
100.
Guide number = Flash to Subject Distance X Aperture value
Aperture value = Guide number / Flash to Subject Distance
Flash to Subject Distance = Guide number / Aperture value
Therefore, if you know the guide number of a flash, you can estimate an optimum flash to
subject distance when setting the flash manually. For example, if a flash has a guide number
of GN 20 and is 4 metres away from the subject, the optimal aperture value is F5.0.
Bounce photography
Bounce photography refers to the method of bouncing light off of the ceiling or walls so
that the light spreads evenly over the subject. Normally, photos taken with flash may appear
unnatural and cast shadows. Subjects in photos taken with bounce photography cast no
shadows and look smooth due to evenly spread light.

Product Performance
Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your
area. Your Camera informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number
of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the
signal.
If you're inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your Camera is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save
feature is automatically activated. If your Camera is active, it periodically rechecks
service availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen.
When a signal is found, your Camera returns to standby mode.
Maintaining Your Camera's Peak Performance
For the best care of your Camera, only authorized personnel should service your
Camera and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your Camera properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Place the Camera's acoustic output next to your ear for proper orientation.
Do not tamper or alter the Camera's antenna.
Don't use the Camera if the antenna is damaged.
Avoid exposing your Camera and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your
Camera does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.
If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service.
