Shooting tips

If image quality is the top priority for

a scenic photo, it's a good idea to set

the ISO sensitivity as low as possible.

But when shooting in the gentle,

dramatic-looking light of morning or

evening, the shutter speed in use may

be too slow for handheld shooting.

Or, you may want to frame the shot

steadily before precisely choosing a

point of focus. In such cases, having a

tripod and remote commander for the

camera provides greater assurance

that you can clearly capture the shot

that you want.

Setting tips

Select AF-S for Focus Mode when shooting a stationary

subject. When autofocus focuses against your will on the

background such as the sky, select Flexible Spot, which

enables accurate focusing on a specific point that you

choose. For handheld shooting, it is convenient to know

the rough shutter speeds (1/x sec. or faster, whereby x =

lens focal length in mm) that deliver photos without blur

from camera shake. It means the shutter speed is 1/50 sec.

or faster when using a 50mm lens.
