Landscape Mode
This mode is for sweeping scenery, sunsets, etc.
Set the Mode Dial to < >.
● The way you take pictures is the same as in
<
> (Full Auto) mode. (→38)
➡ The AF mode is automatically set to <ONE
SHOT>, the drive mode to <
> (Single-frame),
and the metering mode to <
>.
If the shutter speed indicator blinks, the shutter speed may be too slow to keep the
picture from being blurred by camera shake. We recommend you use a tripod
when taking landscape pictures. (The shutter speed indicator still blinks if you use
a tripod, but camera shake will not be a problem.)
● The built-in flash does not fire in Landscape mode, even if it is raised.
● The image quality can also be set. (→50, 118)
A wide-angle lens provides the greatest depth from foreground to background, as
well as a wider image. If you use a zoom lens, its shortest focal length is the most
effective (for example, a 24-85mm lens set to 24 mm).
