SHOOTING BASICS
Shooting mode setting — Mode dial
Full-auto shooting
Allows you to take still pictures using NO special functions or manual
adjustments. The camera sets optimal focusing and exposure. Suitable for
simple shooting.
Portrait shooting
Suitable for shooting a portrait-style shot of a person. This mode features an
in-focus subject against a blurred background. The camera automatically sets
the optimal shooting conditions.
Landscape-Portrait shooting
For example, if you want to take a picture with a beautiful background, you
will want to have both your subject and the background in focus. The camera
automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.
Landscape-Scene shooting
Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes
landscape. The camera focuses on a distant subject (tree, mountain, etc.)
and the picture comes out clear. Since blues and greens are reproduced
vividly in this mode, the Landscape-Scene mode is excellent for shooting
natural scenery. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting
conditions.
19
SHOOTING BASICS (Cont.)
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 the mode, the lack of brightness
will result in a dark picture with only the sparkle of lights such as street lamps
appearing. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the
street can be captured. The camera automatically selects the optimal settings
for this type of shooting condition.
Self-Portrait shooting
Enables you to take a picture of yourself while holding the camera. Point the lens
towards you and take a shot. The focus is locked on you (shooter). The camera
automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition.
Zooming is not possible.
Program shooting
Allows you to take still pictures. The camera sets aperture and shutter speed.
Other functions, such as flash modes and drive modes, can be adjusted
manually.
Aperture priority/Shutter priority/Manual shooting
Allows you to set aperture and/or shutter speed manually. When the mode
dial is set to A/S/M, the following items can be set with the menus:
A (Aperture priority shooting)
You set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed.
S (Shutter priority shooting)
You set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture.
M (Manual shooting)
You set both the aperture and shutter speed.
My Mode
Allows you to take still pictures. Your favorite settings can be saved in MY
MODE SETUP (in the menu’s SETUP). Customized settings are activated
when the power is turned on in the mode. The shortcut menu can also
include different items than the shortcut menus in the P or A/S/M mode.
Movie record
Allows you to record movies. The camera sets the aperture and shutter speed
automatically. Even if the subject moves during recording or the distance to
the subject changes, correct focusing and exposure are maintained
continuously.
