Taking Pictures in M(Scene Recognition) Mode

1

•When the side lever is set to H, M or L, the side lever functions as same as the zoom lever.

•When setting the side lever to H, the side lever can zoom faster. In the same way when setting the side lever to L, the side lever can zoom slower.

•When using the zoom control and side lever simulta- neously, the zoom control is activated.

2Focus Lock

Use focus lock (P 39) to focus on subjects that are not in the focus frame.

Auto back zoom

In the setup menu (P 99), you can change the setting of the side lever. Select W SIDE ZOOM LEVER then AUTO BACK to enable auto back zoom. Auto back zoom allows the camera to zoom out and in quickly. It makes it easy to find the lost subject when zooming in.

Holding the Camera

Hold the camera steady with both hands and brace your elbows against your sides. Shaking or unsteady hands can blur your shots.

To prevent pictures that are out of focus or too dark (un- derexposed), keep your fingers and other objects away from the lens and flash.

Avoiding Blurred Pictures

If the subject is poorly lit, blurring caused by camera shake can be reduced using the L DUAL IS MODE option in the setup menu (P 101). In Bmode, blur caused by subject movement is also reduced (dual IS mode).

Sensitivity is raised when dual IS is in effect. Note that blurring may still occur depending on the scene. We recommend that you turn dual IS off when using a tripod.
