Shooting Tips
Use the center AF point to focus.

Aim the center AF point in the viewfi nder on the subject, then shoot.
Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed)

in the viewfi nder blinks.
Under low light where camera shake tends to occur, the viewfi nder's
shutter speed display will blink. When using a zoom lens, consider
zooming out and either holding the camera steady or using a tripod.
When using a zoom lens, you can reduce the blur caused by camera
shake by setting the lens to the wide-angle end.
 Change the color tone.
You can change [Color tone]. To increase the candlelight's reddish tinge,
set toward [Warm tone] (red), or set toward [Cool tone] (blue) if it looks
too red.
 Adjust brightness.
You can change [Brightness]. To brighten the image, set toward +, or set
toward – if the image is too bright.
The AF method can only be set to [1-point AF].
