landscape.
l
SELF PORTRAIT
Enables you to take a picture of yourself while
holding the camera.
m SUNSET
Preserves the deep hues seen in sunsets and
sunrises.
R 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. For example, if you take
a picture of a street at night in
P mode, the lack of
brightness will result in a dark picture with only dots
of light. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true
appearance of the street is captured.
TIPS
• The zoom function is locked at the W position
and cannot be changed while in self portrait
mode.
• Spot metering is not available in this mode.
TIPS
• The flash cannot be used.
TIPS
• Slower shutter speeds are used in NIGHT SCENE. The use of a tripod is
recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement
when the shutter speed is slow.
