QUICK AND EASY SHOOTING

• In the Auto picture mode, the camera automatically selects one of 5

picture modes according to the requirement of the scene.

• The Auto picture mode operates only when an FA or F lens is attached.

• See page 56, 63 for any other exposure mode.

• The AE lock function or exposure compensation function cannot use

while the Auto picture mode is being used.

When you press the shutter release

button halfway down, the lens automati-

Holding the camera

• Hold the camera firmly, with your left hand supporting the camera and

lens as shown in the illustrations.

• To reduce camera shake, support your body or the camera on a solid

object - a table, tree, or a wall for instance.

• Although there are individual differences among photographers, in gen-

eral the shutter speed for a hand held camera is the inverse of the focal

length. For example, 1/60 of second when focal length is 50mm, and

1/125 of second when it is 100mm. A tripod should be used for shutter

speeds slower than this.

• When using a telephoto lens, a tripod that is heavier than the total

weight of the camera and lens is recommended to avoid camera shake.
