Because bright backgrounds can cause
nearby subjects to underexpose, Back
light mode adds fl ash to the foreground.
Many museums don’t allow the use of fl ash, so
Museum mode reduces the effects of camera
movement to enable sharper shots without it.
Selects a signifi cantly faster shutter speed,
so users can freeze dynamic sporting action. Lets users fully depress the shutter button in
one go rather than pausing halfway, so there’s
no need to miss that fl eeting sporting moment.
Shoots off a rapid 16 frames in only
two seconds to capture action in a
more expressive manner. Blends satisfying sharpness with higher than
normal contrast to capture text or drawings with
greater clarity.
