Once you become more used to taking pictures, try shooting subjects from different angles, or slightly from above or below. Different facial expressions or unusual perspectives can create truly interesting photos.
Trying different things before you shoot can also result in a great shot.
Creative Shooting
With Scene Intelligent Auto and Basic Zone modes, you can easily take pictures, but cannot change the function settings. With the <d> (Program AE), you can set various functions for more creative shooting.
In the <d> mode, the camera sets the shutter speed and aperture automatically to obtain a standard exposure.
The difference between the Basic Zone modes and <d> is explained on page 296.
The functions explained in this chapter can also be used in the <s>, <f>, and <a> modes explained in Chapter 4.
The Mmark shown on the right of the page title indicates that the function is available only in Creative Zone modes (p.25).
*<d> stands for Program.
*AE stands for Auto Exposure.
