SHOOTING BASICS
Mode dial
The shooting modes include modes where the optimal settings for the
situation are automatically selected, and modes where you can select the
settings best suited to the shooting conditions and the effect you wish to
achieve.
You can change the shooting mode before and after turning the camera on.
Mode dial
Shooting modes
En
Playback mode
h Full-auto shooting
Allows you to take still pictures using no special functions or manual
adjustments. The camera sets the optimal focusing and exposure. This is the
simplest of all shooting modes.
i Portrait shooting
Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. This mode features an infocus subject against a blurred background. The camera automatically sets
the optimal shooting conditions.
j Sports shooting
Suitable for capturing fast-moving action (such as sports) without blur. The
camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.
22 En
Page 23
k Landscape+Portrait shooting
Suitable for taking pictures of both your subject and the landscape. 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.
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.
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 h mode, the lack of brightness will
result in a dark picture with the background underexposed and without
details. 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.
o Self-Portrait shooting
Enables you to take a picture of yourself while holding the camera. Point the
lens towards yourself and the focus will be locked on you. The camera
automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions. The zoom is fixed in the
wide position and cannot be changed.

speed. Other functions, such as flash modes and drive modes, can be

J ZOOMING IN ON A SUBJECT (OPTICAL
ZOOM)
Telephoto and wide-angle shooting are possible at 10x magnification (the
optical zoom limit, equivalent to 38 mm – 380 mm on a 35 mm camera). When
taking still pictures, you can increase zoom magnification to a maximum of
approximately 40x by combining the optical zoom with the digital zoom.
During movie recording, the digital zoom magnification is 2.5x.
Camera movement is likely to occur at higher magnifications. Stabilize the
camera with a tripod, etc. to avoid camera movement.
