Shooting Tips


73/196

When using a high aperture, note that camera shake can oin low light scenes.

A higher aperture will make the shutter speed slower. Unlight, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such cincrease the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use

The depth of field depends not only on the aperture, but athe lens and subject distance.Since wide-angle lenses have a wide depth of field, you na high aperture to obtain a sharp picture from the foregrobackground. On the other hand, a telephoto lens has a narof field.

And the closer the subject, the narrower the depth of fieldsubject will have a wider depth of field.

Set the aperture so that the shutter speed display does not

blink in the viewfinder.If you press the shutter button halfway and changethe aperture while the shutter speed is displayed,the shutter speed display will also change tomaintain the same exposure (amount of lightreaching the image sensor). If you exceed theadjustable shutter speed range, the shutter speeddisplay will blink to indicate that the standardexposure cannot be obtained.
