In this mode the camera automatically optimizes settings for the subject or scene. You can

choose from a variety of subject types: people, nightscapes, motion, scenery, indoors and

close-ups, with each subject type o ering di erent scene modes to choose from.

Within a Scene Mode there are

up to six additional categories for

an optimized motif.

2.2. Scenes

QUICK GUIDE E-M10 MARK III

Fireworks, stars and car lights at night have their

very own charm. Longer exposure times create

fascinating images full of light traces that are

only visible on photos. These are invisible to the

human eye.

This kind of photography needs practice, because

you only see the results afterwards. The various

nightscape modes help you nd the optimal settings

for great images.

Tips

People and faces are probably the most common

subjects of photos and everyone wants to look their

best, which is why portrait photography is a very

popular discipline.

But great photos aren’t done by magic. The camera

and lenses can contribute consistent contrasts,

beautiful skin tones, a blurred background and focus

on the face. This gives you more time to concentrate

on the expression and composition.

Move the camera to eye level or slightly below.

Compose the image using the image grid and the

rule of thirds. It’s also good to take several pictures

in a row.

Use a tripod or a solid surface and disable IS*.

Focus on innity and turn o the autofocus.

Trigger the shot using the OI Share app.

* Image Stabilization can be disabled by selecting S-IS O in the SCP or in Shooting Menu 2
