Set the mode dial to AUTO and start taking pictures.
Use focus lock.
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.
It may be easier to focus, even in low light situations,
when using the AF illuminator.
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.
Set [AF SENSITIVITY] to [SMALL] and focus using a
smaller area.
Use macro lens for close-up shots.
During live view, you can take a picture while checking
the white balance, exposure compensation, picture
mode, and other settings on the LCD monitor.
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 live view to check the set exposure
conditions.
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, playing back
images, and using the live view function 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.
Set [BACKLIT LCD] so that the backlight turns off
faster.
