easier. [AF Illuminat.] (p. 32) Taking a picture of subjects whereautofocus is dif cultIn the following cases, after focusing on anobject (by pressing the shutter button halfwaydown) with high contrast at the same distanceas the subject, compose the shot, and takethe picture.

Adjust the brightness while viewing the screenfor taking the picture. Normally, taking picturesof white subjects (such as snow) results inimages that are darker than the actual subject.Use the exposure compensation to adjust in

the positive (+) direction to express whites asthey appear. When taking pictures of blacksubjects, on the other hand, it is effective toadjust in the negative (-) direction.
