This section describes the functions suitable under different shooting

conditions depending on the subject.

Taking landscape pictures

Outdoor scenes such as flower scenery and night scenery are some of the

landscape pictures. There are different things to take note when taking

different landscape pictures. This section describes taking outdoor scenery

pictures such as forests and lakes in the day.

Changing shooting mode

Outdoor scenery includes both motion and still

sceneries. The shooting method changes

accordingly in order to capture a realistic movement

of the subject.

• To take a picture that focuses on a certain point

among a wider range of the image such as bringing

out the depth of a forest, use A (Aperture priority

shooting) mode and close the aperture (increase the

aperture value) as much as possible.

• To capture the instant where waves smash against the seashore, use S (Shutter

priority shooting) mode and select a fast shutter speed. To shoot flowing waterfall

or river, set a slow shutter speed to capture a scene different from the actual

scene.

Exposure compensation can be used even under different shooting modes.

Check the image that you have shot and use + or - to compensate.

Using white balance

The color of water is different depending on

whether it is a lake surrounded by forests or a

tropical sea. To capture the subtle difference in

color, try changing the white balance setting.

It may be difficult to use auto settings to capture the

subtle colors of a lake reflecting the leafy green of

the trees or a sea surrounded by corals. Try

changing the settings for different situations such

as 5300K for sunny days and 7500K for an outdoor

shaded area during sunny days.
