Here are three
from the Monitor File:
Set
the EVF (inner viewfinder) brightness to High. You use it mostly
outdoors where your eye is adapted to bright conditions.
Watch
the nose. When you shoot vertical images with your right eye
and monitor under the viewfinder, you get nose prints. Consider
shooting with the monitor up above your eye or with your left
eye (neither are as handy for most people).
Don't
clean the monitor surface with paper tissues, paper towels or
dusty cloth. The coating is sensitive, cellulose fibers and dust
are abrasive, and they will eventually wear off the anti-reflective
material. Get thee to a LensPen. And don't ever touch its brush
with your fingers.
...and that's
just for the monitors...
What's an
InfoBite? A
factoid you should know but the manual either didn't have it
or didn't emphasize it at the level of its true value.
Most often
they pertain to operation of the camera in pursuit of specific
kinds of images, like this thread:
When
shooting a moving subject, pan with them to keep them in the
same place in the frame, and when you release the shutter, keep
panning. Action images can be more dramatic if the subject shows
the blur-streaks of motion. By panning, much of that motion is
transferred to the background.
And
don't be afraid of 1/60, 1/30, even 1/15 sec exposures.
And
shoot lots of frames. The ones that don't work teach you things.
The ones that do work can be delicious.
