Basic Shooting This chapter explains how to use the Basic Zone modes on the Mode Dial for best results. With the Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot and the camera sets everything automatically (p.196). Also, to prevent botched pictures due to mistaken operations, shooting settings cannot be changed in the Basic Zone modes. I:ilAbout the Auto Lighting Optimizer In the Basic Zone modes, the Auto Lighting Optimizer will adjust the image automatically to obtain the optimum brightness and contrast.
o Fully Automatic Shooting 1 Set the Mode Dial to <0>. AF point 2 Aim any AF point over the subject. • All the AF points will operate, and focus will generally be achieved at the AF poi nt coveri ng the closest object. • Aiming the center AF point over the subject will make focusing easier. Focus the subject. • Press the shutter button halfway, and the lens focusing ring will rotate to focus. ~ The AF point which achieves focus will briefly flash in red.
o , • FAQ • The focus confirmation light <. Fully Automatic Shooting > blinks and focus is not achieved. Aim the AF point over an area having good contrast between light and dark, then press the shutter button halfway (p.88). If you are too close to the subject, move away and try again. • Sometimes multiple AF points flash simultaneously. This indicates that focus has been achieved at all those AF points. As long as the AF point covering the desired subject flashes, you can take the picture. <.
o Full Auto Techniques Recomposing the Shot Depending on the scene, position the subject toward the left or right to create a balanced background and good perspective. In the <0> (Full Auto) mode, while you press the shutter button halfway to focus a still subject, the focus will be locked. You can then recompose the shot and press the shutter button completely to take the picture. This is called "focus lock". Focus lock is also possible in other Basic Zone modes (except <~> Sports).
\\ Shooting Portraits <" The > (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out. It also makes flesh tones and the hair look softer than with the < 0 > (Full Auto) mode. I ~~~ Shooting Tips • The farther the distance between the subject and background, the better. The further the distance between the subject and background, the more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out better in front of a plain, dark background. • Use a telephoto lens.
~ Shooting Landscapes Use the < AA > (Landscape) mode for wide scenery, night scenes, or to have everything in focus from near to far. The greens and blues also become more vivid and sharper than with < 0 > (Full Auto). ~~~ Shooting Tips • With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end. When using the wide-angle end of a zoom lens, objects near and far will be in focus better than at the telephoto end. It also adds breadth to landscapes. • Shooting night scenes.
~ Shooting Close-ups When you want to photograph flowers or small things up close, use the <~> (Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold separately). I ~~~ Shooting Tips • Use a simple background. A simple background makes the flower, etc., stand out better. • Move to the subject as close as possible. Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as < ~ O.28m/O.9ft>.
~ Shooting Moving Subjects To photograph a moving subject, whether it is a child running or a moving vehicle, use the < ~ > (Sports) mode. ~~~ Shooting Tips • Use a telephoto lens. Using a telephoto lens is recommended so you can shoot from afar. • Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter button halfway to auto focus. During autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly. If focus cannot be achieved, the focus > will blink. .
~ Shooting Portraits at Night To shoot someone at night and obtain a natural-looking exposure in the background, use the <~> (Night Portrait) mode. I ~~~ Shooting Tips • Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night view. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. • Keep the person within 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a good exposure of the person.
rI;J Disabling Flash In places where flash photography is prohibited, use the <~> (Flash Off) mode. This mode is also effective for candlelight scenes when you want to capture the ambient light. ~~~ Shooting Tips • If the numeric display in the viewfinder blinks, take care to prevent camera shake. Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the viewfinder's shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a tripod.
~ Creative Auto Shooting The < @) > (Creative Auto) mode enables you to easily change the picture's brightness, etc. The default settings are the same as the < 0 > (Full Auto) mode. * CA stands for Creative Auto. -1 1 j 2 3 Set the Mode Dial to <@». ~ The Creative Auto screen appears on the LCD monitor.

Taking too many blurry pictures? Canon IS * Lenses are the solution! I 01 I
Nice shot! Or is it? When you enlarge your image, the print looks fuzzy. Frustrating! But a common experience. In most cases, this accidental blurring is caused by camera shake - especially when shooting with a telephoto lens or at slow shutter speeds in dark places. Even if you try to stay still, the camera isn't perfectly steady in your hands when the shutter button is pressed. But now there's a great solution: Canon 15* Lenses. For beautifully clear, blur-free photos. With ease.

\ IS benefits \ \ \ When does camera shake tend to happen, and what causes it to occur? Perhaps you've encountered blurred images when enlarging pictures: photos that look fine in smaller postcard sizes appear quite fuzzy at greater size. In fact, camera shake happens more frequently than you'd think. There are several reasons for accidental blurring.

Each Canon IS Lens has a unique optical design for specialized performance. So, Canon's optical correction systems and control mechanisms are customized for effective positioning in each lens model.
• Camera shake _ How does a stable viewfinder image help you take better picture? Looking into the viewfinder while focusing and framing is essential to SLR shooting, so a stable viewfinder image is crucial. Canon IS Lenses correct for camera shake by shifting certain optical components in inverse relation to the lens movement, maintaining the position of incoming light rays on the film or capturing elements.
\ In-lens image stabilizer design benefits \ Improve your framing accuracy! Blurry viewfinder images lead to framing errors, so you can inadvertently cut off important details, especially when using a telephoto zoom lens. With Canon IS Lenses such framing errors are a thing of the past. Canon's in-lens image stabilizers enable accurate framing when you fill the frame with part of your subject. Since the viewfinder image is blur-free, you can check every detail and make subtle framing adjustments.
• Camero shake _ Capture fleeting photo opportunities! Concentrating on your subject is difficult if the viewfinder image blurred. When you lose IS concentration, you tend to miss small gestures and other momentary photo occasions. Canon's inlens image stabilizer gives you a clear viewfinder image, so it's easier to notice and capture such photo opportunities. 0 0 0 0 0 ,,--- 0 I 0 0 V'ewfinder image wiIn IS on Canon IS Lenses help here.,.

If you think that macro lenses are just for enlarging images of small subiects or taking extreme close-ups, think again. A macro lens shows close-up pictures of ordinary subjects - revealing an unknown world! For example, you can take pictures of a colorful subject like a cake, using a blurred background for effect, and get striking professional-looking results. A colorful fresh-fruit tart appears even more appetizing when it's photographed under natural light from a window.
There are many ideal subjects for great clear image photos - a child, for example. Using a Conan Macro Lens, his portrait looks a little different from ordinary snapshots, with an attractive blurred background.
Macro lenses are ideal for taking portrait photos. Since the subject stands out crisply against a hazy background, you can capture the whole scene in an attractive image. To create a beautifully blurred background, just choose the Av ' mode setting while keeping the aperture fully open (for example, f/2.8 or an even lower f/number, depending on your lens).
