Selecting a Shooting Mode
You can take an optimal picture simply by selecting the appropriate
shooting mode.
Auto Leaves almost all of the settings choices up to the camera (p. 61).
Manual
Lets you adjust the exposure, white balance, photo effect and
other settings yourself.
Digital
Macro
You can approach as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.) (minimum
focusing distance) to a subject to shoot (p. 73). Since this
mode trims all but the image center and magnifies it with the
digital zoom, you can make a subject appear even larger than in
the normal macro mode.
Portrait Produces a soft effect when photographing people.
Night
Snapshot
Use this to take snapshots of people against twilight or night
backgrounds to reduce the effects of camera shake even
without using a tripod.
Kids&Pets
Allows you to capture subjects that move around, such as
children and pets, without missing photo opportunities.
Indoor
Prevents camera shake and maintains the subject’s true color
when shooting under florescent or tungsten lightning.
The exposure is regulated so as to avoid the use of flash as
much as possible.
Underwater
Appropriate for shooting images with the All Weather Case AW-
DC30 (sold separately). This mode uses an optimal white
balance setting to reduce bluish tones and record images with
natural hues. It controls the settings so that it limits the firing of
the flash to the greatest possible extent.
My Colors
Use these modes to change image colors and then shoot (p.
102).
