Manual features
to photo-shooting
situations
After you are familiar with your camera,
let’s shoot an image in various situations
with some settings changed. This section
describes some representative manual
shooting examples.
Q: To shoot a portrait with its
background blurred?
Shooting with aperture priority
mode (page 58)
When you want to enhance the person with
the background blurred, adjust the aperture
manually. The more the aperture is opened
(the aperture value becomes smaller), the
narrower the focus is. The background is
blurred accordingly.
Q: To shoot a portrait against
light?
Selecting a fl ash mode (page 69)
Shooting a human subject in a bright place
can create dim facial shadows. This occurs
when the background is brighter than
the person. In such cases, set the fl ash to
(Forced fl ash).
You can shoot both the person and the
background clearly.
• You can use the fl ash within the reach of the
fl ash light.
Q: To shoot a night scene?
Shooting with shutter speed
priority mode (page 57)
Using the fl ash in the auto adjustment
mode restricts the shutter speed and the
fl ash light does not reach distant subjects.
The image, therefore, is not captured
clearly. In such cases, slow the shutter
speed manually, set the fl ash to
(No
fl ash), and reduce the light using the EV
adjustment. You can then shoot a clear
night scene.
