Night Landscape
Use for photographs that employ slow shutter speeds to produce stunning night landscapes.
Fireworks Show
Use when photographing firework displays. The camera responds more rapidly to the shutter-release button, ensuring that you won’t miss the chance to take the perfect shot.
Close Up
Use to capture vivid colors in close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other small objects that catch your eye.
Copy
Use to obtain clear pictures of text or drawings on a white board, business card, or printed matter.
Back Light
Use when light is coming from behind your subject, throwing their features into shadow, or when your subject is in the shade but the background is brightly lit. The flash will fire automatically to illuminate (“fill in”) shadows.
