Scene Modes
• Depending on the scene selected, restrictions may apply to the flash mode
( 40), macro close-up mode (42) and auto-focus mode (82). These
restrictions are noted on the pages that follow.
• In the scene modes other than (Sports) and (Close Up), Auto-focus
mode is set to Single AF. If macro close-up mode is selected, however, Auto-fo-
cus mode is automatically set to Continuous AF
(82).
• Self-timer mode is not available in (Fireworks Show) and (Panorama As-
sist).
• Pictures taken when an ISO icon appears in the monitor may be slightly mot-
tled.
• Depending on your subject, scene mode may not always produce the desired
results. If results are not to your satisfaction, choose (auto) or (man-
ual) and try again.
Image Quality and Size in Scene Mode
In scene mode, pictures are recorded with the image quality
(74) and image
size
(74) set in the mode or mode.
Noise Reduction
“Noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels tends to ap-
pear in pictures taken at slow shutter speeds. This effect is particularly notice-
able in dark areas of the picture. At settings of (Night Portrait), (Dusk/
Dawn) and (Night Landscape), pictures taken at slow shutter speeds are pro-
cessed to reduce noise before being saved to the memory card. As a result,
more time is required to save pictures to the memory card.
The (Camera Shake) icon
When the icon appears in the monitor, pictures may be blurred. In this sec-
tion, the precautions that you can take to avoid blur are indicated by stars:
: hold camera in both hands and brace elbows against your body
: use a tripod or rest the camera on a flat, level surface.
