Shooting according to scene conditions
(SCENE SELECTION)
Ordinarily shoot with the camera set to
Auto (mode dial:
), but when shooting
scenes or people in the dark places, or
shooting landscapes, use the modes listed
below to increase the quality of your
images.
Twilight mode
Under dark lighting conditions, you can
shoot using the Twilight mode, and still get
good images. However, because the shutter
speed is slower under these conditions, we
recommend you use a tripod.
• The flash cannot be used.
Twilight portrait mode
Use this mode when shooting people in the
foreground at night.
Because the shutter speed is slow, it is
recommended that you use a tripod.
• Allows you to shoot images of people in the
foreground with distinct outlines without losing
the feeling that you are shooting at night.
• The flash automatically strobes.
Landscape mode
Focuses on images far away, so is
convenient for shooting landscapes at a
distance.
• You cannot shoot in Macro mode.
, Set the mode dial to SCN, and
press the MENU button.
