BASIC IMAGE RECORDING � When recording a dimly lit subject while �Auto� is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 117), the camera increases sensitivity and uses a faster shutter speed. Because of this, you need to guard against camera movement if you have flash turned off (page 60). � Bright light shining on the lens can cause images to appear �washed out�. This tends to happen when recording images outdoors in bright sunlight. To protect against this, use your free hand to shade the lens from the light.
I About Auto Focus
� Proper focus may be difficult or even impossible when shooting the following types of subjects. � Solid color walls or subjects with little contrast � Strongly backlit subjects � Very shiny objects � Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating patterns � Multiple subjects that are varying distances from the camera � Subjects in poorly lit areas � Moving subjects � Subjects outside the shooting range of the camera � Proper focus may also be difficult or impossible if the camera is moving. � Note that a green operation lamp and focus frame do not necessarily guarantee that the resulting image will be in focus. � If Auto Focus does not produce the results you want for some reason, try using focus lock (page 78) or manual focus (page 77).
