Shooting against the light : It is best to take pictures with the sun behind you. Taking pictures with the sun behind the subject may make the subject come out dark. To take a picture against the light, please use the [Backlight] in scene shooting mode (see page 23), fill-in flash (see page 42), spot metering (see page 55), exposure compensation (see page 35) or the ACB function (see page 87) .

Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image. Compose the image by using the LCD screen.

Under certain conditions, the auto focus system may not perform as expected.

-When photographing a subject that has little contrast.
