Basic Operations
Selecting the Appropriate Capturing
Mode for Scenes
The camera selects and sets the optimum mode when I (Auto Picture)
on the mode dial is set to the dial indicator.
Select = (Portrait), s (Landscape), q (Macro), \ (Moving Object),
. (Night Scene Portrait), a (Flash OFF), H (Scene) with the mode dial
if desired image is not captured in Auto Picture mode.
The modes are as follows.
I (Auto Picture)
Selects automatically from Portrait, Landscape,
Macro, and Moving Object modes.
Lets you take pictures with standard settings (Normal
mode) when there is no optimal shooting mode.
= (Portrait)
Optimal for capturing portraits.
s (Landscape)
Deepens the focus range, emphasizes contour and
saturation of trees and the sky, and produces a bright image.
q (Macro)
Lets you take vibrant pictures of flowers and other
small subjects at short distances.
\ (Moving Object)
Lets you take sharp pictures of a quickly moving
subject, such as at a sporting event.
. (Night Scene Portrait)
Lets you capture people against a night view or dusk.
a (Flash OFF)
The built-in flash is deactivated. Other settings are the
same as the Normal mode in I.
H (Scene)
Lets you select from 8 shooting scenes depending on
the shooting conditions.
For . (Night Scene Portrait), the shutter speed becomes slower in dark
places, even if the built-in flash is used. Use a tripod to avoid camera shake.
