Picture-Taking Modes
Use this mode For:
Auto General picture-taking. Automatically sets exposure,
focus, and flash.
Sport Subjects that are in motion. Shutter speed is fast.
Portrait Full-frame portraits of people. Allows the subject to be
sharp and the background to be indistinct. For best
results, fill the frame with a head-and-shoulders pose.
Use the Telephoto (T) zoom button to exaggerate
background blur.
Night Night scenes or low-light conditions. For shutter
speeds slower than 1/60 second, place the camera on
a flat, steady surface or use a tripod. Due to slow
shutter speeds, advise people to stay still for a few
seconds after the flash fires.
Landscape Distant subjects. Flash does not fire unless you turn it
on. Auto focus framing marks (see page 21 ) are not
available in Landscape.
Close-up Close subjects 4-24 in. (10-60 cm) from the lens in
Wide Angle; 9.8-33.5 in. (25-85 cm) in Telephoto. Use
available light instead of flash if possible. Use the
camera screen to frame the subject.
For the best possible pictures, choose
the mode that suits your conditions.
