camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

NIGHT SCENE

Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a
slower shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. If you take a picture of
a street at night in any other mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark
picture with only dots of light showing. In this mode, the true appearance of
the street is captured. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting
conditions.

lens towards yourself and the focus will be locked on you. The camera
automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions. The zoom is fixed in the
Wide position and cannot be changed.

your subject moves. You cannot record movies with sound.
