Selecting Scene Mode
M CLOSE UP
Photograph flowers, insects, and other small objects at close range.
Effect 1: The subject is captured more vividly and clearly.
Effect 2: Background details are softened and shutter speeds are
faster. Optimal for freezing moving subjects such as flowers sway-
ing in the breeze.
The zoom position is automatically set to wide-angle and the
F icon on the monitor turns green.
The camera can focus on objects as close as 4 cm (1.7 in.) from the lens at a wide-angle
zoom position.
Minimum focus distance will vary with the zoom position.
The camera focuses continuously until the focus is locked by pressing the shutter-release
button halfway.
Select from 99 areas to focus on in the focus area using the multi selector.
Turn Vibration reduction (P.48) on and hold the camera steady to prevent camera shake.
N MUSEUM
Use indoors where flash photography is prohibited (for example, in
museums and art galleries) or in other settings where you do not
want to use the flash.
Best Shot Selector (P.82) turns on automatically, reducing the
effects of inadvertent camera movement.
Photography may be prohibited altogether in some locations. Be
sure to obtain permission first.
In dimly lit surroundings, turn Vibration reduction (P.48) on and hold the camera steady
to prevent camera shake.
O COPY
Provides clear pictures of black and white text or drawings on a
white board or in print. Additionally, use when taking black and
white pictures.
Colored text and drawings may not show up well in the final pic-
ture.
P SPORTS
Fast shutter speeds freeze fast-moving subjects for dynamic sports
scenes.
The camera focuses continuously until the focus is locked by
pressing the shutter-release button halfway.
While the shutter-release button is fully pressed, the camera
shoots at approximately 1.8 frames per second.
Settings for the focus, exposure, and auto white balance are determined by the first shot
in each series.
