The digital-subject-program button (1) optimizes the
camera’s performance for various conditions and
subjects. Exposure, white-balance, and image-
processing systems work in unison for beautiful results.
Pressing the subject-program button cycles through the
modes: macro, portrait, landscape, night portrait, text,
macro & text, and the original exposure mode. A pointer
will indicate the active subject program. The subject
program will remain in effect until it is changed or the
mode dial is turned to another position. Except for
macro, digital subject programs cannot be used in the
multi-function recording mode.
While camera performance is optimized for each
shooting condition, some changes can be made to
camera settings with subject programs. The flash mode
(p. 30) can be changed and the exposure can be altered using the exposure-compensation function
(p. 46). In extreme lighting conditions, changes in exposure compensation may not produce the
intended results in the portrait, night portrait, or text modes. The camera-shake warning (p. 31) may
appear in macro, landscape, night portrait, or text modes.

CCD plane
MACRO - used for close-up photography between 16 and 60 cm
from the CCD. When the macro mode is selected, the lens will
automatically zoom to the correct position. The zoom position
cannot be changed. The LCD monitor should be used to compose
the picture and will automatically activate if off. The viewfinder
cannot be used because of parallax. The flash is set to flash cancel
(p. 30). Fill-flash can be used, but can cause extreme overexposure
and uneven illumination.
