Photo Tips and Information

Tip for Using the Self-timer (p.64)

Normally the camera shakes a little when you press the shutter button.

Setting the self-timer to delays the shutter release for 2 seconds and

allows the camera to stop shaking, thus preventing a blurred image.

Even better results can be obtained by placing the camera on a stable

surface or by using a tripod to shoot.

How to adjust the exposure (p.78)

This camera automatically adjusts the exposure to shoot images with the

optimal brightness. However, recorded images may sometimes be brighter

or darker than the actual image depending on the shooting conditions. If

this happens, adjust the exposure compensation manually.

Underexposure

The whole recorded image is dark, which

makes white elements of the image appear

gray. Shooting bright subjects or in backlit

conditions may cause the image to be

underexposed. Adjust the exposure

compensation towards the + end.

Optimal Exposure

Overexposure

The whole recorded image is bright, which

makes black elements of the image appear gray.

Shooting dark subjects or in dark places may

cause the image to be overexposed. Adjust the

exposure compensation towards the - end.
