My Mode

Allows you to save your favorite settings as your own personal mode and use these customized settings when taking pictures. Current settings can also be saved for retrieving by this mode.

Movie record

Allows you to record movies. The camera sets the aperture and shutter speed automatically. The camera maintains the correct focus and exposure even if the distance between your subject and the camera changes.

Night Scene shooting

Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of a street at night in mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with only dots of light. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the street is captured. The camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera by using a tripod.

Landscape shooting

Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. Both the foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are vividly reproduced in this mode, it is excellent for shooting natural scenery. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.
