Shooting in the dark

Learn how to take photos at night or in low light conditions.

Preventing red-eye

Using the ash
If the ash res when you take a photo of a person in the dark, a red glow may appear in the eyes. To prevent this, select Red-eye or Red-eye Fix.
Use the ash when taking photos in the dark or when you need more light on your photos.
Off: The ash will not re. Camera shake warning ( shooting in low light.

) will be displayed when

Auto: The camera will select a proper ash setting for the detected scene in the S mode. Auto: The ash res automatically when the subject or background is dark.

Adjusting the ISO speed

Red-eye*: The ash res when the subject or background is dark. The camera reduces red-eyes. Fill in: The ash always res. Light intensity is adjusted automatically. Slow Sync: The ash res and the shutter stays open longer. Select this when you want to capture ambient light to reveal more details in the background. Use a tripod to prevent your photos from blurring. Red-eye Fix*: The ash res when the subject or background is dark. The camera corrects red-eyes through its advanced software analysis.
The options may differ depending on the shooting mode. * There is an interval between two bursts of the ash. Do not move until the ash res a second time.
The ISO speed is the measure of a lms sensitivity to light as dened by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). The higher ISO speed you select, the more sensitive to light your camera becomes. With a higher ISO speed, you can get a better photo without using the ash.

Select to use an appropriate ISO speed based on the brightness of the subject and lighting.
The higher ISO speed you select, the more image noise you may get. Flash options are not available if you set burst options or select Blink Detection. Make sure that your subjects are within the recommended distance from the ash. (p. 102) If there is reected light or much dust in the air, tiny spots may appear on your photo.
Changing the cameras focus
Learn how to adjust the camera's focus according to your subjects.

Using macro

Using auto focus
Use macro to take close-up photos of subjects, such as owers or insects. Refer to macro options in Using auto focus.
To take sharp photos, select the appropriate focus according to your distance from the subject.

Normal (AF)

Normal (AF): Focus on a subject farther than 80 cm.
Try to hold the camera very still to prevent blurry photos. Turn off the ash if the distance to the subject is less than 40 cm.
Auto Macro: Focus on a subject farther than 5 cm (farther than 50 cm when using zoom). Macro: Focus on a subject 5 - 80 cm (50 - 80 cm when using zoom). Super Macro: Focus on a subject between 3 to 8 cm (unavailable when using zoom).

Using smart touch focus

Smart Touch AF allows you to track and auto focus on your subject, even when you are moving.
Touch the subject you want to track in the touch area (indicated by a frame).
A focus frame will appear on the subject and will follow the subject as you move the camera.
If you do not touch any area on the screen, the focus frame will appear in the centre of the screen. Tracking a subject may fail when: - the subject is too small or the subject moves - the subject is backlit or you are shooting in a dark place - colours or patterns on the subject and the background are the same - the camera shakes excessively In these cases, the focus frame will appear as a white single-line frame. If the camera fails to track the subject, you must reselect the subject to track. If the camera fails to x the focus, the focus frame will change to a red single-line frame. If you use this function, you cannot set face detection and photo style options.

The white frame means that your camera is tracking the subject. The green frame means that your subject is in focus when you half-press [Shutter].

Using one touch shooting

Adjusting the focus area
You can focus on your subject and take a photo with a touch of your nger.
You can get clearer photos by selecting an appropriate focus area according to your subjects location in the scene.
In Shooting mode, select f Touch a subject to focus.
Touch and hold the subject to take the photo.
Touch and hold until the level indicator lls up.

Center AF

Center AF: Focus on the centre (suitable when subjects are located in the centre).
When you use face detection, you should touch and hold the image of detected face. If you touch and hold any other area, the frame to detect faces will change to a normal frame.
Multi AF: Focus on one or more of 9 possible areas. One Touch Shooting: Focus on the subject by touching the image on the screen. Touch and hold the subject to take the photo. Smart Touch AF: Focus on and track the subject that you touch on the screen. (p. 47)

Using face detection

If you use face detection options, your camera can automatically detect a human face. When you focus on a human face, the camera adjusts the exposure automatically. Take photos quickly and easily by using Blink Detection to detect closed eyes or Smile Shot to capture a smiling face. You can also use Smart Face Recognition to register faces and prioritise the focus on them.
In some scene modes, face detection is unavailable. Face detection may not be effective when: - the subject is far from the camera (The focus frame will appear orange for Smile Shot and Blink Detection) - it is too bright or too dark - the subject is not facing the camera - the subject is wearing sunglasses or a mask - the subject is in backlighting or the lighting condition is unstable - the subjects facial expression changes remarkably Face detection is not available when using a photo style. When you use the face detection option, the digital zoom will not work. Depending on the selected face defection option, the timer is not available or some timer options are not available. Depending on the selected face defection option, some burst options are not available. When you take photos of detected faces, they will be registered in the face list. You can view registered faces in order of priority in Playback mode. (p. 65) Even though faces are registered successfully, they may not be classied in Playback mode. The detected face in Shooting mode may not appear in the face list or Smart Album.

Detecting faces

Your camera automatically detects human faces (up to 10 human faces).
In Shooting mode, select f. The nearest face appears in a white focus frame and the rest of the faces appear in gray focus frames.
The closer you are to the subject, the quicker your camera will detect faces. If you want to focus faces in gray focus frames, touch them to focus. When you use the burst option, the detected faces may not be registered.

Taking a smile shot

The camera automatically releases the shutter when it detects a smiling face.

Detecting eye blinking

If your camera detects closed eyes, it will automatically take 2 photos in succession.
In Shooting mode, select f In Shooting mode, select f. When your subject smiles broadly, your camera can detect the smile more easily.
Hold your camera still while Capturing is displayed on the screen. When blink detection fails, Picture taken with eyes closed. message appears. Take another photo.
Using smart face recognition
The camera automatically registers faces that you frequently photograph. This feature will automatically prioritise the focus on those faces and favourite faces. This feature is available only when you use a memory card.
The camera may recognise and register faces incorrectly depending on lighting conditions, remarkable changes in the subject's pose or face, and whether or not the subject is wearing glasses. The camera can automatically register up to 14 faces. If the camera recognises a new face when there are 14 registered faces, it will replace the face in the lowest priority with the new one. The camera can detect up to 10 faces and register 5 faces in one scene.
In Shooting mode, select f. The nearest face appears in a white focus frame and the rest of the faces appear in gray focus frames. : Indicate favourite faces (To register favourite faces, see page 52). : Indicate faces that the camera automatically registers.
