Close up

Use for close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other small objects in which main subject stands out clearly. Reds and greens are captured particularly vividly.

•Camera automatically selects center focus area. Focus area selection can be changed.

•Tripod, self-timer ( 105) and/or optional ML-L3 remote control ( 107) or MC-DC1 remote cord ( 191) can be used to prevent blurring at slow shutter speeds.

•Micro lens recommended. Effective use can be made of other lenses by focusing at minimum focus distance. With zoom lenses, zoom in to make subject appear larger.

•Flash set to front-curtain sync. Other modes can be selected ( 96).

Sports

High shutter speeds freeze motion for dynamic sports shots in which main subject stands out clearly.

•Camera focus continuously while shutter-release button is pressed halfway, following movement of subject through

focus areas. Note that shutter can be released even when camera is not in focus; check focus indicator (●) in viewfinder before shooting.

•Use telephoto lens for best results. Tripod recommended to prevent blur- ring when telephoto lens is used.

•Built-in Speedlight and AF-assist illuminator turn off automatically and will not fire even when lighting is poor.

Night landscape

Slow shutter speeds produce stunning night landscapes while minimizing mottling and discoloration often seen in low-light photographs.

•Tripod, self-timer ( 105), and/or optional ML-L3 remote

control (107) or MC-DC1 remote cord (191) can be used to prevent blurring at slow shutter speeds. At speeds slower than 1 s, use noise re-

duction to reduce noise (133).

•Use mode for portraits that include night scenery.

•Built-in Speedlight and AF-assist illuminator turn off automatically and will not fire even when lighting is poor.
