TAKING PICTURES — SELECTING THE CAMERA SETTINGS
STILL PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS
Consider the scene you are photographing and the sort of image you want to
achieve when you specify the camera settings. A general guide to the procedure
is given below.
1Select the Photography mode (➡P.40-44, 67, 68).
BAll settings other than the Quality, Sensitivity and FinePix COLOR are
specified on the camera.
?Selects the best Scene Position setting (mPORTRAIT, ,LANDSCAPE,
.SPORTS or /NIGHT SCENE) for the scene being shot.
N, M, <Changes the aperture or shutter speed setting so that the action is
frozen, so that the flow of the motion is conveyed, or so that the
background is out of focus.
>Adjusts all the camera settings yourself.
rShoots a movie.
2Specify the required photography function settings (➡P.45-56).
dFlash Use the flash for shots in dark locations or for backlit
subjects, etc.
eMacro/ Super macro Uses for close-up shots.
EAE lock Fixes the exposure settings.
D
Exposure compensation Uses the AE exposure as a reference value of 0, this
function brightens (+) or darkens (–) the shot.
fContinuous shooting Uses to take a series of continuous shots or to use
auto bracketing (with exposure compensation).
3Take the pictures (check the exposure and focus ➡adjust
the shot composition ➡press the Shutter button down fully).
★ You can use the menus for more detailed settings (➡P.32-35, 58-66).
The table below provides a number of sample settings. You can achieve any number of other
effects by using the settings effectively. Try changing different settings to see what kind of shots you
can take.
To achieve this result Sample settings
To express the motion of the subject (the flow of time) Set the Mode dial to “M” and select a slow shutter speed. (Use a
tripod to avoid camera shake.)
To freeze the subject's movement Set the Mode dial to “M” and select a fast shutter speed.
To make the subject stand out by having the background
out of focus Set the Mode dial to “<” and select a wide aperture setting.
To get a very large depth of focus Set the Mode dial to “<” and select a narrow aperture setting.
To prevent the image having a red or blue cast due to
the light source
Change the “White balance” setting in the photography menu.
To avoid missing snapshot opportunities Take pictures in AUTO mode (see “Using the Camera”).
To prevent the subject from being overexposed or
underexposed and to show the substance and textures
of the subject clearly.
Use exposure compensation.
Select (+) if the background is pale and (–) if the background is
dark.
