When focusing is difficult t [Focus] (page 51) If the image looks blurred even after focusing, it may be because of camera shake. t See “Hints for preventing blur” below. Basic techniques for better images Hints for preventing blur The camera moved accidentally when you took the image. This is called “Camera shake.” On the other hand, if the subject moved when you took the image, it is called “subject blur.” Camera shake Cause What you can do to reduce the blurring Your hands or body shake while you hold the • Use a tripod or place the camera on a flat surface camera and press the shutter button, and the entire to hold the camera steady. screen is blurred. • Shoot with a 2-second delay self-timer and stabilize the camera by holding your arms firmly at your side after pressing the shutter button. Subject blur Cause What you can do to reduce the blurring Even though the camera is steady, the subject • Select (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene moves during the exposure so the subject looks Selection. blurred when the shutter button is pressed. • Select a higher ISO sensitivity to make the shutter speed faster, and press the shutter button before the subject moves. Notes • The anti-blur function is enabled in the factory default settings so that camera shake is reduced automatically. However, this is not effective for subject blur (DSC-W120/W125/W130 only). • Besides, camera shake and subject blur occur frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions, such as those encountered in (Twilight) mode or (Twilight Portrait) mode. In that case, shoot with the above tips in mind. Basic techniques for better images You can create various images by adjusting the exposure and the ISO sensitivity. Exposure is the amount of light that the camera will receive when you release the shutter. ExposureAdjusting the light intensity Exposure: Overexposure = too much light Whitish image Correct exposure Underexposure = too little light Darker image Shutter speed = Length of time the camera receives light Aperture = Size of the opening allowing light to pass through ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index) = Recording sensitivity The exposure is automatically set to the proper value in the auto adjustment mode. However, you can adjust it manually using the functions below. Adjusting EV: Allows you to adjust the exposure determined by the camera (page 49). Metering Mode: Allows you to change the part of the subject to be measured to determine the exposure (page 50). Basic techniques for better images Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index) ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity. To adjust the ISO sensitivity, see page 49. High ISO sensitivity Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter speed to reduce blur. However, the image tends to become noisy. Low ISO sensitivity Records a smoother image. However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker. The apparent color of the subject is affected by the lighting conditions. ColorOn the effects of lighting Example: The color of an image affected by light sources Weather/lighting Daylight Cloudy Fluorescent Incandescent Characteristics of light White (standard) Bluish Green-tinged Reddish The color tones are adjusted automatically in the auto adjustment mode. However, you can adjust color tones manually with [White Balance] (page 53). Basic techniques for better images On “image quality” and “image size” A digital image is made up of a collection of small dots called pixels. QualityIf it contains a large number of pixels, the image becomes large, it takes up more memory, and the image is displayed in fine detail. “Image size” is shown by the number of pixels. Although you cannot see the differences on the screen of the camera, the fine detail and data processing time differ when the image is printed or displayed on a computer screen. Description of the pixels and the image size 1 Image size: 8M (DSC-W130 only) 3264 pixels . 2448 pixels = 7,990,272 pixels 2 Image size: 7M (DSC-W110/W115/W120/W125 only) 3072 pixels . 2304 pixels = 7,077,888 pixels 3 Image size: VGA 640 pixels . 480 pixels = 307,200 pixels Pixels Selecting the image size for use (page 12) Many pixels (Fine Pixel Example: Printing in image quality and up to A3 size large file size) Few pixels (Rough Example: An attached image quality but image to be sent by e- small file size) mail Basic techniques for better images DSC-W130 The default settings are marked with .
