Select the AF target and take the picture.
The minimum shooting distance varies depending on
the lens. Move to the minimum shooting distance of the
lens from the subject and take a picture.
The camera may be having difficulty focusing on the
subject with auto focus. Lock the focus at the position of
the subject in advance or use MF to fix the distance of
the focus.
Select the AF target and take the picture using the
desired AF target.
Use MF. It may be helpful to focus while using live view
with an enlarged image.
You can take a picture while using the live multi view
display to compare the effect of white balance or
exposure compensation.
You can use the preview function to check the depth of
field at a selected aperture value.
You can use [TEST PICTURE] to check the image on
the LCD monitor without recording the image to a card.
Pressing the shutter button halfway and playing back
images over a long period of time consumes
considerable battery power. Limiting these actions will
help extend the useful life of the battery.
Set [SLEEP] so that the camera enters sleep mode
faster.
Reduce the pixel count and compression rate settings.
Increase the ISO sensitivity.
