CAMERA CONTROLS
SUBJECT PROGRAMS
The subject-programs optimize the camera’s performance for various conditions and subjects.
Subject-programs are set with the mode button (p. 18). A pointer will indicate the active subject pro-
gram, which will remain in effect until it is changed or the camera is turned off.
Macro – Used for close-up photography between 25 and 80
cm (9.5 ~ 31 inches) from the front of the lens.The LCD moni-
tor should be used to compose the picture rather than the
viewfinder; press and hold the display button to activate the
monitor.The flash will not fire in macro mode; the camera-
shake warning may appear in low-light conditions.
Landscape / Night view – Optimized to produce sharp,
colourful landscapes during the day or at night.The flash will
not fire in this mode.The camera-shake warning may appear
in low-light conditions.When taking pictures of landscapes at
night, long exposures are required; the use of a tripod is rec-
ommended.
Night portrait – For portraits with subtle night scenes.The
flash output is balanced with the ambient light exposure so
that the subject and background are visible. Red-eye reduction
is used with night portrait (p. 19). Ask your subject not to move
after the flash burst; the shutter will still be open for the back-
ground exposure. Make sure the subject is within the flash
range: 0.8 – 3.0m (wide-angle position), 0.8 – 2.0m (telephoto
position).
CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING
If the shutter speed falls below the point where the
camera can be safely hand held, the red flash lamp
will blink. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by
subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the
telephoto position of the lens than at the wide-angle.
Although the warning appears, the shutter can still
be released. If the warning appears, place the cam-
era on a tripod or, if the subject is within the flash
range (p. 19), use the built-in flash.The camera-shake warning only appears in the flash cancel (p.
19), landscape, and macro modes.
