8. Starting to take photographs
8.1. Setting shooting mode
When the camera is switched on, shooting mode is enabled automatically. The icon for
the selected shooting mode appears at the top left in the display. You can find out more
about shooting modes and the icons on Page 189.
8.2. Tips for taking good shots
•
The camera should not move when pressing the shutter release. Do not move the
camera directly after pressing the shutter release. Wait for the shutter release signal. If
necessary, use a tripod or the image stabiliser (see Page 151) to securely support the
camera and prevent blurring.
•
View the subject on the display before pressing the shutter release.
•
The main subject should take up the largest part of the picture and dominate it.
Always move up close enough to the subject.
•
When taking shots of landscapes and buildings, ensure you do not include too much
of the surroundings in the photo.
•
When taking portrait shots, remember that the face is the decisive subject, and the
body or shoes are not relevant here and should not be included in the picture.
•
Pictures are more interesting to the viewer when the subject is not exactly in the
centre of the picture but rather slightly to one side.
•
Many attractive subjects do not come out as well as they could because the
background is too distracting. Change the camera angle to get as neutral a
background as possible.
•
For landscape shots, use the rule of thirds as orientation; i.e., the picture is divided
into three horizontal areas and the photographer uses this division to influence
the effect of the picture. Images with a split of 1/3 sky and 2/3 ground appear calm
and idyllic to the viewer; on the other hand, pictures with a split of 2/3 sky and 1/3
ground seem more dynamic and lively.
The on-screen grid lines (see Page 147) are very helpful for these kinds of
landscapes as you can align important image objects on the cross points.
