Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against
the backlight, and the face is brightened.
• Taking pictures using [[j_] for [ESP/[j_]
(p. 27)

of a white beach or snow scene
Set the mode to [_
BEACH & SNOW[ (p. 28)
• Taking pictures
using exposure
compensation
(p. 20)
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for
taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white
subjects [such as snow) results in images that are
darker than the actual subject. Use the [] button to
adjust in the positive direction to express whites as
they appear.
When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other
hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative direction.

that

natural
comor$"
• Taking pictures
by selecting
[WB] (p. 26)
Best results in most environments can normafly
be obtained with the [AUTO] setting, but for some
subjects, you should try experimenting with different
settings. [This is especially true for sunshade under
a clear sky, mixed natural and artificial light settings,
and so on.)

sharper
pictures"
® Taking pictures
with the optical zoom
Avoid using [DIGITAL ZOOM] (p. 27) to take pictures.

[small colored spots and color unevenness that were
not in the original image) can occur, and the image
can appear grainy.
