Used for general shooting. Settings can be changed to suit the shooting
conditions and the type of shot that you want to capture.
• x, y, X, W (Scene) modes

In time-lapse movie scene mode, the camera can automatically capture
300 still images at a specified interval to create time-lapse movies
(e1080/30p) that are approximately 10 seconds long.
- X (night landscape): Use this mode to shoot night landscapes.

being hidden in shadow, or the HDR function can be used to shoot
scenes with high contrast.

Effects can be applied to images during shooting. Press the d button to
select the effect.
• F (Smart portrait) mode
Use glamour retouch to enhance human faces during shooting, and use the
smile timer or self-collage function to take pictures.
