(Camera shake warning) indicator
Note The (Camera shake warning) indicator is displayed only in the modes that automatically set the shutter speed. This indicator is not displayed in M/S modes.
Using the SteadyShot function
This SteadyShot function can reduce the effect of camera shake by the equivalent of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 increments of shutter speed. The SteadyShot function is set to [On] in the default setting. The SteadyShot scale indicator The (SteadyShot scale) indicator shows the camera shake status. Wait until the scale becomes low, then start shooting.

Note The SteadyShot function may not work optimally when the power has just been turned on or when the shutter button has been pressed all the way down without stopping halfway. Wait for the (SteadyShot scale) indicator scale to go down, and then press the shutter button down slowly.

Using a tripod

In the following cases, we recommend that you mount the camera on a tripod. Shooting without a flash under dark conditions. Shooting with slow shutter speeds, which are typically used in night-time shooting. Shooting a close subject, such as in macro shooting. Shooting with a telescopic lens.
Note When using a tripod, deactivate the SteadyShot function because there is a potential for malfunction of the SteadyShot function (page 46).
/ Shooting with the automatic setting
The AUTO mode allows you to easily shoot any subject under any conditions because the camera makes appropriate judgments on the situation to adjust the settings. Select when shooting in a location where the use of a flash is restricted. When you turn the mode dial, the explanation of the selected mode and methods of shooting are displayed on the screen (Help Guide disp.). You can clear the Help Guide (page 124).

1 Set the mode dial to

(Flash Off).
2 Adjust the LCD monitor to an easily viewable angle and hold

the camera.

3 Place the desired subject within

the focus area.

If the (Camera shake warning) indicator flashes, carefully shoot the subject, holding the camera steady, or by using a tripod.

Amount of exposure

When using a faster shutter speed, the camera opens the shutter for a shorter time. This means less time for the camera to take in light, resulting in a darker picture. To take a brighter picture, you can open the aperture (the hole through which the light passes) to some extent in order to adjust the amount of light the camera takes in at one time. The brightness of the picture adjusted by the shutter speed and aperture is called exposure. This section will show you how to adjust the exposure and enjoy various photo expressions by the use of movement, focus, and light. You can find out the right way to shoot the image and the subject you like.
When you turn the mode dial, the explanation of the selected mode and methods of shooting are displayed on the screen (Help Guide disp.). You can clear the Help Guide (page 124).
Shooting with program auto

Subjects that may require special focusing Using the autofocus, it is hard to focus on the following subjects. In such cases, use the focus lock shooting feature (page 78) or manual focus (page 81). A subject that is low in contrast, such as blue sky or a white wall. Two subjects at different distances overlapping in the AF area. A subject that is composed of repeating patterns, such as the facade of a building. A subject that is very bright or glittering, such as the sun, the body of an automobile, or the surface of water. Ambient light is not sufficient.
To measure the exact distance to the subject The mark located on the top of the camera shows the location of the image sensor*. When you measure the exact distance between the camera and the subject, refer to the position of the horizontal line. * The image sensor is the part of the camera that acts as the film.
Notes If the subject is closer than the minimum shooting distance of the attached lens, the focus cannot be confirmed. Make sure you put enough distance between the subject and the camera. When the focus mode switch on the camera is set to MF, the correct focus is not achieved, even if the focus mode switch on the lens is set to AF. To switch to auto focus, set the focus mode switch on the camera to AF.

Notes When the LIVE VIEW/OVF switch is set to OVF, the smart teleconverter is unavailable. When [Quality] is set to (RAW) or (RAW & JPEG), the smart teleconverter is unavailable. When the smart teleconverter is available (when in autofocus mode), [AF area] is set to (Spot).

Slow sync shooting allows you to shoot a clear image of both the subject and the background by slowing the shutter speed. Fires right before the exposure is completed everytime you trigger the shutter. Fires an external flash (sold separately) that is off the camera and away from it (Wireless flash shooting).

(Rear sync.) (Wireless)

The lens hood (sold separately) may block the light of the flash. Remove the lens hood when using the flash. When using the flash, shoot the subject at a distance of 1 m (3.3 feet) or greater. When shooting indoors or shooting nightscapes, you can use slow sync to shoot a brighter image of people and backgrounds. You can use rear sync to shoot a natural image of the trail of a moving subject such as a moving bicycle or a walking person.
Notes Do not hold the camera by grabbing the flash emitter. Shooting conditions required to prevent shadows from appearing on an image vary, depending on the lens. When the exposure mode is set to AUTO or Scene Selection, the (Slow sync.), (Rear sync.), and (Wireless) items cannot be selected.
