Night Portrait
This scene mode uses the flash and will leave the shutter open longer to
get more ambient light from the background. This will help reduce typical
flash pictures where the subject does not have a black/dark background.
Ideally, this will produce photos that have more detail in the background. For
best results and reduced image blurring, the use of a tripod for this mode is
strongly recommended.
Soft Skin
This scene mode will set red-eye flash and other camera parameters to
enhance/soften tones that produce smoother younger looking skin as well ad
reduce the appearance of blemishes.

The Camera is set to macro mode focus and other parameters to increase
saturation for enticing food images.

Love Portrait

photos without the help of others. When two faces or more are detected in
the same focus range, the AF is automatically activated and the camera starts
a visual count down. In a few seconds, the camera automatically takes a
picture. The camera will continue to snap photos as long as the two or more
subjects are in range. This is a great feature to have when no one is around
to assist.
Self Portrait

so that they can push the shutter button. Often the result is a too close-up
self image that is over exposed and background details reduced. This mode
will not require the shutter button to be press while using face detection
to track one or more faces in focus range. Once the camera has made the
appropriate adjustments, it will start a visual countdown In a few seconds,
the camera automatically take a picture. The camera will continue to snap
photos as long as the one or more subjects are in range. This feature is great
