Shooting techniques

When shooting a moving person, car, or spindrift, etc., using the high shutter speed, you can express moment that is beyond what the human eye can see.

When shooting a subject such as the flow of a river at a slower shutter speed, you can create an image that captures the subject’s flowing movement. In such cases, use of a tripod is recommended to prevent camera shake.

•When you hand-hold the camera, adjust

the shutter speed in a range where (Vibration warning indicator) is not

indicated.

Shooting with aperture priority mode

Mode dial: A

You can adjust the amount of light that passes through the lens. If you open the aperture (a smaller F-number), the amount of light allowed into the lens increases and the in-focus range becomes narrower. Only the main subject is then in focus. When the aperture is closed (a larger F-number), the amount of light decreases and the in-focus range becomes wider. The whole image is sharpened.

The shutter speed is automatically adjusted to obtain correct exposure according to the brightness of the subject.
