user manual

◗

Try the spot metering setting. Be sure to center your

subject when locking the camera settings with the

two-step shutter.

◗

Be aware of lighting conditions and how they affect

the appearance of your subject. Early morning and

late afternoon provide flattering light for portraits.

◗

Try to get on the same level as your subject; shots are

more interesting if they are taken from the subject’s

perspective.

Action shots can be tricky. To get the best results:

◗

Use a fast shutter speed.

◗

Pick a good location where you can capture a shot at

any moment.

◗

In Program mode, try the

Sports

setting.

For all your pictures:

◗

Don’t forget about your optical zoom, black and

white, macro mode, and other specialized settings.

◗

Hold the camera still or use a tripod if you have one.

◗

Try HyPict mode or Uncompressed Tiff mode for

prints that will be enlarged.

◗

Don’t forget that if you don’t like the way a shot

comes out, you can erase it from your CompactFlash

memory card and take another one.
