Capturing a moment from a dance scene
Setting tips
To clearly capture a dancer's facial expressions, setting Face Detection to On is recommended. When using vertically oriented framing, a dancer’s face is likely to be positioned in the upper area of the frame, so select Upper Zone in the Zone setting (a Focus Area selection). A shutter speed of 1/500 sec. was used in the example to capture a moment of movement in the dress.
Shooting tips
Once you master autofocus, try to choose your backgrounds more carefully.
For example, a simple, slightly dark background brings out the subject and enhances the artistic mood of the resulting photo.
How to select Zone
Press the Fn button.
Choose Focus Area in the menu.
Choose Zone.
Move the AF range frame to the area that you want to focus on.
