Chapter 1 / Section 2 Basic Shooting

Capture the Moment Shooting (Full-press)

Buttons used here

Put the subject of your photo right in the center and press the shutter button all the way.

After the camera focuses automatically, the still image is taken and recorded.

Turn the Mode Dial to (Shooting Mode).

Compose your shot either by looking through the Viewfinder or at the LCD Monitor.

• Certain subjects are hard to bring into focus:

It may be impossible to bring the following kinds of subjects into focus.

• Subjects lacking contrast (the sky, a white wall, the hood of a car, etc.)

Flat two-dimensional objects with only horizontal lines and no significant protrusions

Quickly moving objects

Things in poorly lit places

Areas with strong backlighting, or reflections

Things that flicker, such as fluorescent lights

When you want to shoot subjects like this, first focus on an object the same distance as your subject and then shoot. (see p.32)

• When shooting in focus-poor conditions, it is recommended you use the Half-Press method.
