Focusing
Focusing in Dimly Lit Locations By default, the camera is set to use the auxiliary AF light for easier focusing in dimly lit locations (p. 75). Preventing Camera Shake and Blurring of the Subject There are several solutions to prevent inadvertent camera movement (camera shake) and blurring of the subject. Increasing the ISO sensitivity (p. 76) or using the flash (p. 62) are possible solutions as the camera then takes pictures at higher shutter speeds. Higher shutter speeds are effective for preventing both camera shake and blurring of the subject. When the Digital SR Mode is used, an ISO sensitivity higher than that of other Capture Modes is set, so camera shake is less likely to occur. (p. 49) You can check if camera shake is likely to occur when f (camera shake warning) appears on the LCD monitor. Using a tripod and the selftimer (p. 79) or remote control function (p. 80) is recommended especially when camera shake is likely to occur. Changing the Depth of Field By zooming in on your subject from a close distance, you can narrow the depth of field and create a blurred background (p. 50).

Use this mode when the distance to the subject is approximately 15 cm (6 in. ) to 50 cm (20 in. ). The camera focuses on the subject in the focusing area when the shutter release button is pressed halfway. This mode is used when you want everything from near to far to be in focus. Use it when asking someone to take your picture or when taking pictures of scenery through the window of a moving car or train.
