Basic shooting functions

Selecting a shooting mode according to the situation

Use the mode dial to switch between shooting modes before taking

pictures. You can take pictures with the optimum settings by setting the

mode dial according to the shooting conditions or purpose.

(Shooting mode

P Program Auto

Suitable for general situations. The camera automatically uses settings that captures

the scene in its natural colors. You can set other functions such as exposure

compensation as desired.

h Auto

Takes pictures in full auto.

i Portrait

Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. This mode is optimum for

reproducing silky skin tones.

l Landscape

Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. Both the

foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are vividly

reproduced in this mode, it is excellent for shooting natural scenery.

z Night Scene*

Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower

shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of

a street at night in P mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with

only dots of light. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the

street is captured. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure that you stabilize the

camera by using a tripod.

j Sports

Suitable for capturing fast-moving action (such as sports) without blurring. Even fast-

moving subjects appear to be stationary.

k Landscape+Portrait

Suitable for taking pictures of both your subject and the landscape. The picture is

taken with the background as well as the subject in the foreground in focus. You can

take pictures of your subject against a beautiful sky or landscape.
