Night portrait - for deep, subtle night scenes. The use of a tripod is recommended. When used
with flash, the subject and background exposures are balanced. The flash can only be used with
close subjects such as with a portrait of a person. When using the flash, ask your subjects not to
move after the burst; the shutter may still be open for the background exposure.
Text - To take pictures of black text or line art on white backgrounds.
Super Macro - for close-up photographs down to 6cm (2.4 in.). When selected, the lens zooms
automatically to the Super Macro position; the zoom position cannot be changed. At close object
distances, the flash may cause overexposure or uneven illumination, set the flash mode to flash
cancel (p. 28). The use of a tripod is recommended.
Auto recording - when the Digital Subject Programs are turned off, the camera uses programmed
autoexposure.
SPOT AF
The spot AF is used for selective focusing. Both focus and exposure are determined with the spot
focus area. When auto reset (p. 45) is active, the spot AF area resets to the wide focus frame when
the camera is turned off. The spot focus area can be used with movie recording. When used with
the digital zoom (p. 51), the spot focus area is enlarged.
Press and hold the center button of the controller to dis-
play the spot focus area; press and hold the button
again to return to the wide focus frame. Take the picture
as described in the basic recording operation section on
page 24.
When the LCD monitor is off, the camera cannot be
switched between wide and spot AF; the last AF mode
set is active. When the live image only display is used,
switching between the wide and spot AF modes resets
the display mode to the full display.
