Capturing a moment from a dance scene
Shooting tips
Once you master autofocus, try
to be meticulous with choice of
background. For example, a simple,
slightly dark background brings out
the subject and enhances the artistic
mood of the resulting photo.

Setting tips
To clearly capture facial expressions of a dancer, set-
ting Face Detection to On is recommended. When using
vertically oriented framing, a dancer's face is likely to be
positioned in the upper area of the frame, so select upper
zone in the Zone setting (a Focus Area selection). A shut-
ter speed of 1/500 sec. was used in the photo example to
capture a moment of movement of the dress.
