Selecting a Shooting Mode
You can take an optimal picture simply by selecting the appropriate
shooting mode.
Auto
Leaves almost all of the settings choices up to the camera (p.
55).
Manual
Lets you adjust the exposure, white balance and color effect
settings yourself.
Macro
You can approach as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.) to a subject to
shoot (p. 64).
Portrait
Use this mode when you want the subject to appear sharp and
the background blur. You can also capture minute gradations in
skin and hair tones for beautiful images. By composing the
image with a person's upper body filling the LCD monitor, you
can effectively blur the background.
Landscape
Use this to record landscape scenery. You can also use it to
focus on distant subjects when both close and distant objects
are mixed in a composition.
Night
Snapshot
Use this to take snapshots of people against twilight or night
backgrounds to reduce camera blur even without using a
tripod.
Indoor
Prevents camera shake and maintains the subject’s true color
when shooting under florescent or tungsten lightning.
The exposure is regulated so as to avoid the use of flash as
much as possible.
Underwater
Appropriate for shooting images with the All Weather Case AW-
DC10 (sold separately). This mode uses an optimal white
balance setting to reduce bluish tones and record images with
natural hues.
