Taking Still Images

«Applicable mode: C»

You can use this camera in various ways. You can take still images, shoot a

sequence of consecutive shots (continuous shooting), and shoot movies.

This chapter begins by explaining how to shoot photos (still images).

1 Turn the camera on and press the mode

button until "C" lights up on the mode

select LED.

The startup screen appears and then the date is displayed for

approximately 3 seconds.

Check that the date is correct.

2 Compose the shot by looking at the LCD

monitor.

BNote

Press the 4-way button right to zoom in on the

image, and left to zoom back out. (Æ p.59

)

Avoiding camera shake

Camera shake refers to the effect of images appearing blurred or out of focus because the camera moved

when the picture was taken. This is particularly likely to occur at slow shutter speeds and in macro shots.

This applies particularly to macro shots with high magnifications, where the subject's depth of field

extremely shallow, and even the slight camera movement when the shutter release button is pressed can

have a large impact on the image.

In situations of this sort, place the camera on a stable surface to take the shot. Even greater stability can be

achieved by using the self-timer (Æ p.57

) so that the camera does not move when the shutter release

button is pressed.
