m 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 P 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.
l 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.
k Landscape+Portrait shooting
En
Suitable for taking pictures of both your subject and the background. The
picture is taken with the background as well as the subject in the foreground
in focus. You can take pictures of your subject against a beautiful sky or
landscape. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.
