43 Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips
If the shooting mode setting is anything other than the default
Auto Mode setting, the icon for the setting will appear in the
Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is
changed again or until the camera is turned off. The
shooting mode setting resets to the default Auto Mode setting
when you turn the camera off.
NOTE: The shooting mode does not apply when you are
recording video clips.
TIP: To restore the shooting mode setting to what it was
when you last turned the camera off, hold down the
button as you turn the camera back on.
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.
Portrait Use Portrait mode for pictures that have one or
more people as their primary subject. The camera
combines a smaller F-number to blur the
background, with lower sharpness for a more
natural effect.
Landscape Use Landscape mode to capture scenes with deep
perspective, such as mountains or city skylines,
when you want the foreground and the
background to be in focus. The camera combines
a higher F-number for better depth of field with
higher sharpness for a more vivid effect.
Beach & Snow Use Beach & Snow mode to capture bright
outdoor scenes and balance out harsh lighting.
