 Still picture shooting modes

PROGRAM AUTO (factory default setting)

Used for regular photography. The camera automatically makes settings

for natural color balance. Other functions, such as the flash mode, can be

adjusted manually.

Portrait shooting

Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. The camera

automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

Landscape shooting

Suitable for taking photos of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. The

camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

Night-Scene shooting

Suitable for taking photos of landscapes

and people in the evening or at night.

The camera sets a slower shutter speed

than is used in normal shooting. If you

take a picture of a street at night in any

other mode, the lack of brightness will

result in a dark picture with the

background underexposed and without

details. In this mode, the true appearance

of the street is captured. The camera

automatically sets the optimal shooting

conditions. We recommend that you set

the flash mode to AUTO.
