Advanced (Recording pictures)
When taking pictures of people outdoors during the daytime, this mode enables the texture
of their skin to appear even softer than with [PORTRAIT]. (It is effective when taking
pictures of people from the chest up.)
∫
Technique for Soft skin mode
To make this mode more effective:
1
Rotate the zoom lever to maximum Tele position.
2
Move close to the subject to make this mode more effective.
Note
•
If a part of the background etc. is a color close to skin color, this part is also smoothed.
•
This mode may not be effective when there is insufficient brightness.
•
The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [
š
].
Select this to take pictures of yourself.
∫
Technique for Self portrait mode
•
Press the shutter button halfway to focus. The self-timer indicator
lights up when you are brought into focus. Making sure you hold
the camera still, press the shutter button fully to take the picture.
•
The subject is not focused when the self-timer indicator is
blinking. Make sure to press the shutter button halfway again to
focus.
•
The recorded picture automatically appears on the LCD monitor
for reviewing.
•
If the picture is blurry due to the slow shutter speed, we
recommend using the 2 second self-timer.
Note
•
The focus range is about 30 cm (0.99 feet) to 70 cm (2.29 feet).
•
You can take a picture of yourself with audio (P76). If you do this, the self-timer indicator will
light up while recording the audio.
•
The zoom magnification is automatically moved to Wide (1
k
).
•
The self-timer can only be set to off or 2 seconds. If it is set to 2 seconds, this setting will
remain until the camera is turned off, the scene mode is changed or [REC] mode or
[PLAYBACK] mode is selected.
•
The stabilizer function mode is fixed to [MODE2]. (P75)
•
The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [
š
].
This allows you to take pictures of a wide landscape.
Note
•
The focus range is 5 m (16.4 feet) to
¶
(infinity).
Set here when you want to take pictures of sports scenes or other fast-moving events.
Note
•
This mode is suitable for taking pictures of subjects at distances of 5 m (16.4 feet) or more.
•
[INTELLIGENT ISO] is activated, and maximum ISO sensitivity level becomes [ISO800].
