In this case, use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash shot mode.

Backlight compensated shot

When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as the image may be dark because of the strong backlight. In backlight conditions, please use exposure compensation (p.52). Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.

As there can be some differences between what is seen through the Viewfinder and the resulting image when taken at a range closer than 1.5m, it is recommended that you use the LCD monitor to compose the shot.

Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries.

We recommend turning off the LCD monitor and using the optical viewfinder as often as possible in order to extend battery life.

To avoid images being unclear, keep within the focus range.
