Taking Pictures in M (Scene Recognition) Mode
Holding the Camera
Hold the camera steady with
both hands and brace your
elbows against your sides.
Shaking or unsteady hands
can blur your shots.
To prevent pictures that are
out of focus or too dark (un-
derexposed), keep your n-
gers and other objects away
from the lens and ash.
2 Tip: Focus Lock
Use focus lock (pg. 34) to focus on subjects that are not
in the focus frame.
Shooting Information

played, press the DISP/BACK button.

Best framing
To use best framing, position the main subject at the
intersection of two lines or align one of the horizontal
lines with the horizon. Use focus lock (pg. 34) to focus
on subjects that will not be in the center of the frame
in the nal photograph.
Avoiding Blurred Pictures
If the subject is poorly lit, blur-
ring caused by camera shake
can be reduced using the
L DUAL IS MODE option in
the setup menu (pg. 96). In
B mode, blur caused by sub-
ject movement is also reduced (dual IS mode).
Sensitivity is raised when dual IS is in e ect. Note that
blurring may still occur depending on the scene. We
recommend that you turn dual IS o when using a
tripod.
