Improving photos with Scenes

Before you take a photo, you can set up the camera for common situations using preprogrammed scenes. The Scenes feature determines a number of settings for you to fit the selected scene, ensuring the best possible photo.

Scenes settings

Auto

The camera uses settings that fit most conditions

Twilight

Use when taking landscape photos at night or in poorly lit environments. Due to longer exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface

Beach/snow

Use in bright environments to avoid underexposed photos

Tips when using the camera

Rule of thirds

Don’t place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in, you achieve a better result.

Hold it steady

Avoid blurry photos by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning it against a solid object.

Get closer

By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can fill the viewfinder with your subject.

Consider variety

Think about different angles, and move towards the subject. Take some vertical photos. Try different positions.

Use a plain background

A plain background helps highlight your subject.

Keep your lens clean

Mobile phones are used in all kinds of weather and places, and carried in pockets and bags. This results in the camera lens becoming dirty and covered with fingerprints. Use a soft cloth to clean the lens.
