Selecting Scene Mode
E LANDSCAPE
Use for vivid landscape shots that enhance outlines, colors, and con-
trast in such subjects as skyscapes and forests.
Effect 1: Colors are enhanced, causing the landscape to appear
more vivid and clear.
Effect 2: The blue color of the sky is captured more vividly.
The camera focuses at infinity. The focus indicator lights whenever the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway.
F PANORAMA ASSIST
Use when taking a series of pictures that
will later be joined to form a single scene
(for example, a panorama or 360° virtual-
reality image).
See page 40 for more information on how to take pictures with this function.
Settings for the flash, self-timer, focus, zoom, and exposure are determined by the first
shot in each series.
Using a tripod makes it easier to compose overlapping shots.
G NIGHT LANDSCAPE
Slow shutter speeds are used to produce stunning nightscapes.
Effect 1: Nightscapes are captured more vividly.
Effect 2: Point sources of light radiate out and cause the night-
scape to stand out.
The camera focuses at infinity. The focus indicator lights when-
ever the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
Noise reduction turns on automatically at slow shutter speeds and it will take longer than
usual to store the picture.
To prevent blurring, mount the camera on a tripod or rest it on a flat, level surface.
H BEACH/SNOW
Captures the brightness of such subjects as snowfields, beaches, or
sunlit expanses of water.
