(f mode
P PROGRAM AUTO
All you need to do is press the shutter button. The camera automatically selects the

B PORTRAIT
Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. This mode features an in-focus
subject against a blurred background.
F LANDSCAPE
Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. Both the
foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are vividly
reproduced in this mode, it is excellent for shooting natural scenery.
D LANDSCAPE + PORTRAIT
Suitable for taking pictures of both your subject and the landscape. The picture is
taken with the background as well as the subject in the foreground in focus. You can
take pictures of your subject against a beautiful sky or landscape.
G 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.
U NIGHT+PORTRAIT
Suitable for shooting both the main subject and background at night.
