Sports
Use this mode to record sports scenes (such as tennis or golf),
moving objects (such as roller coasters) or when recording from a
moving car.
This mode is set at a high shutter speed and should therefore be used in sufficient
light.
This mode is mainly intended for frame-by-frame or slow playback. The picture may
not appear smooth when played back in normal speed.
Portrait
Use this mode to give accent to your subject by blurring the
background or foreground.
The blur effect increases the more you zoom to telephoto.
This mode is set at a higher shutter speed. The picture may not
appear smooth when played back.
Spotlight
Use this mode to record spotlit scenes such as shows, recitals or
fireworks.
Sand & Snow
Use this mode in bright places such as a sunny beach or ski resort. It
prevents the subject from being underexposed.
The subject may become overexposed in dark surroundings. Check
the image on the screen.
This mode is set at a higher shutter speed. The picture may not appear smooth when
played back.
Low Light
Use this mode to record in dimly lit places. The shutter is fixed at a
slow shutter speed.
Moving subjects may leave a trailing afterimage.
