The digital-subject-program button (1) optimizes the
camera’s performance for various conditions and
subjects. Exposure, white-balance, and image-
processing systems work in unison for beautiful results.
Pressing the subject-program button cycles through the
modes: macro, portrait, landscape, night portrait, text,
and the original exposure mode. A pointer will indicate
the active subject program. The subject program will
remain in effect until it is changed or the mode dial is
turned to another position. Except for macro mode,
digital subject programs cannot be used in the multi-
function recording mode.
While camera performance is optimized for each
shooting condition, some changes can be made to
camera settings with subject programs. The flash mode
(p. 30) can be changed and the exposure can be altered using the exposure-compensation function
(p. 46). In extreme lighting conditions, changes in exposure compensation may not produce the
intended results in the portrait, night portrait, or text modes. The camera-shake warning (p. 31) may
appear in macro, landscape, night portrait, or text modes.

CCD plane
MACRO – used for close-up photography between 16 and 60 cm
from the CCD. When the macro mode is selected, the lens will
automatically zoom to the correct position. The zoom position
cannot be changed. The LCD monitor will automatically activate
and should be used to compose the picture. The viewfinder cannot
be used because of parallax. The flash will not fire when set to an
autoflash mode (p. 30). If the flash is used, extreme overexpusure
and uneven illumination can occur.
