E LANDSCAPE
Use for vivid landscape shots that enhance outlines, colors, and con-
trast in such subjects as skyscapes and forests.
Effect 1: Colors are enhanced, causing the landscape to appear
more vivid and clear.
Effect 2: The blue color of the sky is captured more vividly.
• The camera focuses at infinity. The focus indicator lights whenever the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway.
F PANORAMA ASSIST
Use when taking a series of pictures that
will later be joined to form a single scene
(for example, a panorama or 360° virtual-
reality image).
See page 40 for more information on how to take pictures with this function.
• Settings for the flash, self-timer, focus, zoom, and exposure are determined by the first
shot in each series.
• Using a tripod makes it easier to compose overlapping shots.
G NIGHT LANDSCAPE
Slow shutter speeds are used to produce stunning nightscapes.
Effect 1: Nightscapes are captured more vividly.
Effect 2: Point sources of light radiate out and cause the night-
scape to stand out.
• The camera focuses at infinity. The focus indicator lights when-
ever the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• Noise reduction turns on automatically at slow shutter speeds and it will take longer than
usual to store the picture.
• To prevent blurring, mount the camera on a tripod or rest it on a flat, level surface.
H BEACH/SNOW
Captures the brightness of such subjects as snowfields, beaches, or
sunlit expanses of water.
