I was looking for a digital camera for my personal use, and on the “Sony” website I saw this camera, it is called “Sony Cybershot S980”. I love to take pictures which seem really natural because I am a photographer by profession.

Subject blur

Cause Even though the camera is steady, the subject moves during the exposure so the subject looks blurred when the shutter button is pressed.
What you can do to reduce the blurring Select (High Sensitivity) with the mode dial. Select a higher ISO sensitivity to make the shutter speed faster, and press the shutter button before the subject moves.
Notes When the anti-blur function is set to [Auto], you can reduce the camera shake automatically. However, this is not effective for subject blur. Besides, camera shake and subject blur occur frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions, such as those encountered in (Twilight) mode or (Twilight Portrait) mode. In that case, shoot with the above tips in mind.
Exposure Adjusting the light intensity
You can create various images by adjusting the exposure and the ISO sensitivity. Exposure is the amount of light that the camera will receive when you release the shutter.

Exposure:

Shutter speed = Length of time the camera receives light Aperture = Size of the opening allowing light to pass through ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index) = Recording sensitivity
Overexposure = too much light Whitish image Correct exposure
The exposure is automatically set to the proper value in the auto adjustment mode. However, you can adjust it manually using the functions below. Adjusting EV: Allows you to adjust the exposure determined by the camera (page 39). Metering Mode: Allows you to change the part of the subject to be measured to determine the exposure (page 41).
Underexposure = too little light Darker image
Adjusting the ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)
ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity. To adjust the ISO sensitivity, see page 40.
High ISO sensitivity Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter speed to reduce blur. However, the image tends to become noisy. Low ISO sensitivity Records a smoother image. However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker.
On the effects of lighting
The apparent color of the subject is affected by the lighting conditions.

Scene Selection mode

Allows you to shoot with preset settings according to the scene. You can select , , , , , in the menu when the mode dial is set to SCN. t page 26

When shooting movies: Press the shutter button fully down. To stop recording, press the shutter button fully down again.
If you shoot a still image of a subject that is difficult to focus on
The shortest shooting distance is approximately 5 cm (2 inches) (W)/50 cm (1 feet 7 3/4 inches) (T) (from the front of the lens). When the camera cannot focus on the subject automatically, the AE/AF lock indicator changes to flash slowly and the beep does not sound. In addition, the AF range finder frame disappears. Recompose the shot and focus again.
Focusing may be difficult in the following situations:
It is dark and the subject is distant. The contrast between the subject and the background is poor. The subject is seen through glass. The subject is moving quickly. There is reflective light or shiny surfaces. The subject is backlit or there is a flashing light.
Shooting in Easy Shooting mode

Depending on your printer, all the edges of the image may be cut off. Especially when you
print an image shot with the image size set to [16:9], the lateral end of the image may be cut off. When printing images using your printer, cancel the trimming or borderless settings. Consult the printer manufacturer as to whether the printer provides these functions or not. When having images printed at a digital print shop, ask the shop whether they can print the images without cutting off both edges.
Cannot print images with the date inserted.
You can print images with the date inserted using PMB (page 70). This camera does not have a feature for superimposing dates on images. However, because the
images shot with the camera include information on the recording date, you can print images with the date superimposed if the printer or the software can recognize Exif information. For compatibility with Exif information, consult the manufacturer of the printer or the software. If you use a photo printing service, ask them to superimpose the dates on images.
