„ Shooting Modes
Still Images
Auto
The camera automatically selects settings.
Manual
Allows you to select settings yourself, such as the exposure compensation, white balance or
photo effect.
Stitch Assist
Allows you to shoot overlapping images that can later be merged
(stitched) to create one panoramic image on a computer. Select
[Stitch Assist] from the [
(Rec.)] menu.
Digital Macro
Allows you to shoot when the
distance from the lens (at
maximum wide angle) to the
subject is within 3 – 10 cm
(1.2 – 3.9 in.). The subject
can be shown larger than in standard macro mode
because the camera trims the image edges and
zooms in with the digital zoom.
Portrait
Produces a soft
effect when
photographing
people.
Night Snapshot
Allows you to take snapshots
of people against twilight or
night backgrounds by
reducing the effects of
camera shake even without
using a tripod.
My Colors
Allows you to
change the image
colors easily with 9
modes.
Scene Mode
By simply selecting one of the following shooting modes, you can shoot
with the most appropriate settings for the scene.
Kids&Pets
Allows you to capture
subjects that move
around, such as
children and pets,
without missing photo
opportunities.
Indoor
Prevents camera
shake and
maintains the
subject's true color
when shooting
under florescent or
tungsten lighting.
Foliage
Shoots trees and
leaves—such as new
growth, autumn leaves
or blossoms—in vivid
colors.
Snow
Shoots without a
blue tinge and
without making
people appear dark
against a snowy
background.
