Taking Pictures in M(Scene Recognition) Mode

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.

Shooting Information

To choose the shooting information and guides dis- played, press the DISP/BACK button.

Indicators displayed/indicators hidden/best framing/ HD framing/histogram

To use best framing, position the main subject at the intersection of two lines or align one of the horizontal lines with the horizon. When HD framing is used, 16:9 aspect ratio guide lines are displayed to make it easy to frame HD shots. Use focus lock (P32) to focus on subjects that will not be in the center of the frame in the final photograph.

Avoiding Blurred Pictures

If the subject is poorly lit, blurring caused by camera shake can be reduced using the LIS MODE option in the setup menu (P89). Note that blurring may still occur depending on the scene.
