Using the Shooting Modes
Shooting modes use a pre-defined set of camera settings that
are optimized for taking still pictures of certain scene types to
give you better results. In each shooting mode, the camera
selects the best settings, such as the ISO speed, F-number
(aperture), and shutter speed, optimizing them for the
particular scene or situation.
NOTE: The shooting mode does not apply when you are
recording video clips.
To change the shooting mode, press the MODE button on the
back of the camera until the desired shooting mode appears
on the Image Display. The following table describes each of
the shooting mode settings on the camera.
Setting Description
Auto
Mode
Use Auto Mode when you need to take a good shot
quickly, and do not have time to select a special
shooting mode on the camera. Auto Mode works well
for most shots in normal situations. The camera
automatically selects the best F-number (aperture), ISO
speed, and shutter speed for the scene.
Macro Use Macro mode to take close-up pictures of subjects
less than 50 cm (20 in) away. In this mode, auto focus
has a distance range of 20 to 50 cm (8 to 20 in), and
the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus
(see Focusing the Camera on page 36).
Action Use Action mode to capture sporting events, moving
cars, or any scene where you want to stop the action.
The camera uses fast shutter speeds and higher ISO
speeds to stop motion.
