most appropriate settings for the scene.

Appropriate for shooting images with
flowers, leaves or trees to enhance
color.
Snow
Appropriate for shooting the subject
against the backdrop of snowy
mountains while preventing dark
subjects and bluish backgrounds.
Beach
Appropriate for shooting scenes by
the sea or on sunlit sandy beaches
while preventing dark subjects.
Fireworks
Appropriate for shooting fireworks
clearly with the optimal exposure.
Underwater

reduce bluish tones and record
images with natural hues. The flash
is controlled to fire as seldom as
possible.
