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

pictures using settings that suit the scene.

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.
u (Special effects) mode
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.

to 30 seconds long by recording and automatically combining multiple
