Shooting Features
dSports
Use this mode when shooting sporting events. The camera
captures a series of still images that allow you to clearly see
detailed movements in a moving subject.
• The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
• Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way to
capture images continuously. Up to six images are captured
continuously at a rate of about 1.2 fps (when image mode is set to P).
• The camera focuses even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway. You
may hear the sound of the camera focusing.
• Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each
series.
• The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image
mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
e Night portrait
Use this mode for evening and night portraits that include
background scenery. The flash fires to light the portrait subject
while preserving background lighting to achieve a natural
balance between the main subject and background ambience.
• When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that
face (A67).
• The camera softens skin tones by applying the skin softening function before saving
images (A 69).
• If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.
• Digital zoom cannot be used.
f Party/indoor
Suitable for taking pictures at parties. Captures the effects of
candlelight and other indoor background lighting.
• The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
• To avoid the effects of camera shake, hold the camera
steady when shooting in dark surroundings. Set Vibration
reduction to Off in the setup menu (A 88) when using a
tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
