2 Improving your shooting skills – Shooting guides

Take pictures frequently to familiarize yourself with the camera. You can start off by taking

pictures of your surrounding subjects like children, flowers or pets. And from the poor quality

pictures you have taken, try to figure out what went wrong. The problems can often be resolved

just by being more observant during shooting.

Focus: Operating the shutter button

Out of focus seems to be the common cause when pictures

taken do not turn out well. In many cases, instead of the

intended focus on the subject, the back or front of the subject or

other objects are focused.

The shutter button can be half-pressed and full pressed. Once

you are able to operate the half-press and full press effectively,

you can even focus accurately on moving subjects.

“Shooting” (P. 7), “If correct focus cannot be obtained

(Focus lock)” (P. 31)

However, even if the subject is in focus, the picture can become

blurred if the camera moves while the shutter button is being

pressed. Make sure to hold the camera properly so that it does

not shake. The camera is particularly subject to shaking when

using live view to take pictures while viewing the subject on the

monitor. In addition, it may be necessary to use a tripod to

prevent camera shake even when you feel there is sufficient

lighting.

“Holding the camera” (P. 7)

Besides out of focus and camera shake problems, the motion of the subject will also cause the

picture to blur. Ability to shoot at a shutter speed that matches the motion of the subject is

essential. You can confirm the shutter speed and aperture on the displays of the viewfinder and

monitor when taking pictures by pressing the shutter button halfway. Check out these displays

during your shooting practices.

Brightness: Exposure compensation

The camera automatically determines the aperture value and

shutter speed according to the brightness level. This is known

as auto exposure. However, auto exposure alone may not result

in pictures of your expectations. At times like this, you can

adjust the exposure through increasing or decreasing the

exposure value set by the camera’s auto exposure during

shooting.

Increase the exposure when you want the dazzling sensation of

the summer beach or the whiteness of the snow to stand out.

And decrease the exposure when the area to be shot is smaller

and brighter compared to its surrounding area. If you are unsure how much exposure

compensation is required, it is better to take the picture with various settings.
