Shooting according to scene conditions
–
Scene Selection
When shooting night scenes, shooting
people at night, shooting landscapes, or
shooting portraits, use the modes listed
below to increase the quality of your
images.
Twilight mode
Under dark lighting conditions, you can
shoot a distant night view. However,
because the shutter speed is slower under
these conditions, we recommend you use a
tripod.
• You cannot use the following functions in
Twilight mode:
– Macro mode shooting
– Shooting with the flash
– Exposure Bracket
– Burst mode shooting
– Multi Burst mode shooting
Twilight portrait mode
Use this mode when shooting people in the
foreground at night. This mode allows you
to shoot images of people in the foreground
with distinct outlines without losing the
feeling that you are shooting at night.
Because the shutter speed is slow, it is
recommended that you use a tripod.
• The flash is set to (Slow synchro).
• You cannot shoot in Exposure Bracket, Burst,
or Multi Burst mode.
Landscape mode
Focuses on images far away, so is
convenient for shooting landscapes at a
distance.
• You cannot shoot in macro mode.
• The flash is set to (Forced flash) or (No
flash).
Portrait mode
Backgrounds blur away, and the subject is
sharpened.
