Tips for taking clearer photos
Holding the camera correctly
Make sure not to block the screen, lens, flash, or microphone.
Make sure not to expose the lens to direct sunlight. This may discolour the image
sensor, or cause it to malfunction.
Half-pressing the Shutter button
Press the Shutter button halfway down to adjust the focus. The camera adjusts the focus,
exposure, and white balance automatically, and the focus frame turns green. The focus frame
turns red if not focused.
Camera: Basic functions
54
Reducing camera shake
Set the Optical Image Stabiliser (OIS) option to reduce camera shake optically. (p. 52)
Keeping the subject in focus
Focusing on the subject may be difficult in the following conditions:
•
When the contrast between the subject and background is low. For example, the subject
is wearing clothing that is similar in colour to the background.
•
The light 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 centre of the frame.
Camera: Basic functions
55
Using the focus lock
Half-press the Shutter button to focus. When the subject is focused, you can change the
composition. When you are ready, press the Shutter button to take the photo.
When taking photos in low-light conditions
•
Turn the flash on to take photos in low-light conditions. (p. 83)
•
Adjust the ISO sensitivity. (p. 77)
Camera: Basic functions
56
When subjects are moving rapidly
Use the continuous shooting option to take photos of moving subjects. (p. 63, p. 81)
To take several photos continuously, use memory cards with faster writing speeds
(micro SDHC Class10 or higher).
57
Camera: Shooting modes
Auto
Use this to take photos with scene modes selected automatically by the camera. In this
mode, the camera recognises surrounding conditions and automatically adjusts factors that
contribute to exposure, including the shutter speed, aperture value, metering, and white
balance. As the camera controls most of the functions, some shooting options are limited.
This mode is useful for capturing quick snapshots with the least amount of adjustment.

•
The camera may detect different scenes, even the same subjects, depending on
external factors, such as camera shake, lighting, and distance to the subject.
•
If the camera does not recognise an appropriate scene mode, it uses the default
settings for this mode.
•
Even if it detects a face, the camera may not select a portrait mode depending on
the subject’s position or lighting.
•
In this mode, the camera consumes more battery power due to constant changing
of settings when selecting appropriate modes.

When taking a photo, if the appropriate exposure value cannot be decided, use the
bracket set option to take multiple photos with different exposure values.
•
Taking photos with higher exposure values may result in blurry photos, due to
slower shutter speed.
ISO (sensitivity)
The ISO sensitivity value represents the sensitivity of the camera to light.
The higher the ISO sensitivity, the more sensitive the camera is to light. Consequently, by
selecting a higher ISO sensitivity, you can take photos in dim or dark places at faster shutter
speeds. However, this may increase electronic noise and result in a grainy photo.

clear photo by setting a high ISO sensitivity without having to secure more light.
•
Use the noise reduction feature to reduce the visual noise that can appear on
photos of a high ISO sensitivity. (p. 92)
WB (light source)
The white balance represents the light source that influences on the colour of a photo.
The colour of a photo depends on the type and quality of the light source. If you want the
colour of your photo to be realistic, select an appropriate lighting condition to calibrate the
white balance, or adjust the colour temperature manually. You can also adjust colour for the
preset light sources so that the colours of the photo match the actual scene under mixed
lighting conditions.

Metering
The metering mode refers to the method the camera measures the quantity of light.
The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its modes, uses the
measurement to adjust various settings. For example, if a subject looks darker than its actual
colour, the camera takes an overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual
colour, the camera takes an underexposed photo of it.
Tap

→
Metering
, and select an option.
•
Multi
: The camera calculates the amount of light in multiple areas. When light is sufficient
or insufficient, the camera adjusts the exposure by averaging the overall brightness of the
scene. This mode is suitable for general photos.
•
Spot
: The camera calculates the amount of light in the centre. When you take a photo
in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the
exposure to shoot a subject correctly.
•
Centre-weighted
: The camera calculates a broader area than the camera does in spot
mode. It sums up the amount of light in the centre portion of the shot (60–80 %) and that
of the rest of the shot (20–40 %).

S RGB
: sRGB (Standard RGB) is an international specification to define the colour space
created by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). It is widely used for creating
colours on computer monitors and is also the standard colour space for Exif. sRGB is
recommended for regular images and images you intend to publish on the Internet.
•
Adobe RGB
: Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a larger colour range
than sRGB. Its wider range of colours helps you to easily edit photos on a computer.
Note that individual programs are generally compatible with a limited number of colour
spaces.
The rule for creating file names varies depending on the selected colour space option.
•
sRGB files: YYYYMMDD_hhmmss.JPG. For example, for a photo taken on Jan.
02, 2013, at 15:30:45, the file name would be 20130102_153045.jpg. File names
for continuous or burst photos would be YYYYMMDD_hhmmss_x.JPG, for the
previous example, the file name would be 20130102_153045_1.JPG.
