Focus and shoot.
• Focus the camera and take the shot, as described on p. 60-61. Depending
on the scene selected, you may be able to select the focus area manually,
allowing you to focus on an off-center subject without using focus lock.
Note on SCENE mode
• Do not use SCENE mode when taking pictures that you plan to retouch on a
computer.
• Depending on the subject, SCENE mode setting may not always produce the
desired results. If you are dissatisfied with the results in SCENE mode, try
using AUTO mode instead.
• In the SCENE mode, the Noise Reduction function (p. 154), which can be
used to minimize the effect of noise on the recorded image, is automatically
activated when the shutter speed is slower than 1/4 sec. When the Noise
Reduction function is on, the time taken to save a picture to the CF memory
card is approximately doubled.
When you press the MENU button to display the SCENE mode menu, the
most-recently selected setting will be highlighted. Press the MENU button a
second time to exit the menu.

natural balance between the main subject and the
background when taking portraits against a backdrop of
night-time scenery.

be selected.
