Using [Scene Mode]

• How to select a scene (→75)
[Sports]
Takes pictures of scenes with fast movement, e.g. sports.
Tip
• Stand at least 5m (16 feet) away.
Notes
• Sports mode requires adequate lighting, to enable the higher shutter speed
to be used. This mode may not product acceptable results when shooting
indoors, under limited lighting.
• The shutter speed may slow down to 1 second.
[Night Portrait]
Takes pictures of people and nightscapes with close to actual brightness.
Tips
• Use flash.
• The subject should not move.
• Tripod, self-timer recommended.
Notes
• The shutter speed may slow down to 8 seconds.
• After recording, the shutter may stay closed (up to 8 seconds) to process the
signal. This is not a malfunction.
[Night
Scenery]
Takes sharp pictures of night scenes.
Tip
• Tripod, self-timer recommended.
Notes
• The shutter speed may slow down to 8 seconds.
• After recording, the shutter may stay closed (up to 8 seconds) to process the
signal. This is not a malfunction.
[Handheld
Night Shot]
Takes sharp still pictures of night scenes with less camera shake and less
noise by combining a series of still pictures.
Tip
• After the shutter button has been pressed, do not move the camera during the
exposure series.
Note
• Since a series of still pictures are combined after they have been recorded, it
will be a few moments before you will be able to record another picture.
