Selecting the Scene Mode

Three scene modes are pre-programmed in the camera. When using a scene mode, the camera is
automatically configured to the best image capture settings for the situation.

Note:

❏ When any scene mode is set, selecting macro mode shifts the camera settings to normal mode. If you

cancel the macro mode, the camera settings remain in normal mode.

❏ Using scene modes together with Exif 2.2 software and PRINT Image Matching II will provide the best

possible printing results.

❏ The Self timer, Exp Comp, Quality, Continuous Shooting, Digital Zoom, Frames, etc. are not affected

by the scene mode.

on the subject. The shutter speed is also selected to minimize blurring.

36 Taking Photos

Landscape mode

This mode is best for broad landscapes. The flash is deactivated so the image of the landscape is
captured more clearly. In low light the shutter speed is slower so you can take night scenes. Use
a tripod to prevent blurring.

Portrait mode

This mode is designed for personal portraits. The depth of field is reduced (1 - 3 m) and the flash
is automatically set to reduce red-eyes. When using the fill-in flash in dark settings, the slow
synchro shutter feature is set allowing you to take shots with a brighter background. The use of a
tripod is recommended to prevent blurring.

Setting White Balance

The white balance function adjusts the camera for different kinds of lighting. It makes white look
the same color in any situation. The camera has two white balance modes; automatic and manual.

Automatic white balance

In this mode the camera automatically senses the light source and corrects the colors so you get
the same white in any lighting situation. We recommend that you regularly use the camera in this
mode.

1. Turn the Mode dial to manual photography mode.
