Picture-Taking Modes
Use this mode For:
Auto General picture-taking. Automatically sets exposure,
focus, and flash.
Sport Subjects that are in motion. Shutter speed is fast.
Portrait Full-frame portraits of people. Allows the subject to be
sharp and the background to be indistinct. For best
results, fill the frame with a head-and-shoulders pose.
Use the Telephoto (T) zoom button to exaggerate
background blur.
Night Night scenes or low-light conditions. For shutter
speeds slower than 1/60 second, place the camera on
a flat, steady surface or use a tripod. Due to slow
shutter speeds, advise people to stay still for a few
seconds after the flash fires.
Landscape Distant subjects. Flash does not fire unless you turn it
on. Auto focus framing marks (see page 21) are not
available in Landscape.
Close-up Close subjects 4-24 in. (10-60 cm) from the lens in
Wide Angle; 9.8-33.5 in. (25-85 cm) in Telephoto. Use
available light instead of flash if possible. Use the
camera screen to frame the subject.
For the best possible pictures, choose
the mode that suits your conditions.
