◗If the sky has complete cloud cover, you may want to avoid taking landscape photos. Portrait photos and closer shots are better under these conditions.
To capture beautiful sunsets without losing any of the color or lighting effects, set up the camera as follows:
◗Use the fixed white balance setting.
◗Adjust exposure settings for different effects.
◗Take shots at different stages of the sunset to capture the changing colors. (Try interval shooting mode.)
Under low light conditions, it is often difficult to capture a good shot of the background as well as your subject. Try the following:
◗Increase the automatic exposure setting.
◗Use a wide aperture or slow shutter speed.
◗Use a higher sensitivity or ISO equivalent. (A tripod is recommended for higher sensitivity settings.)
◗Use the slow synchronized flash setting to light up the background along with the subject.
When you are taking portraits, you should set up your camera so it captures flattering images that make your subject the center of attention:
◗Try the Program mode Portrait setting.
