Auto
- Auto balance between the subject and the background.

Sports
- For recording people or objects moving quickly. If the Sports mode is used under a fluorescent
light, the image may flicker. In this case, use the Auto mode for recording.
Portrait
- Creates a shallow depth of field so that the person or subject appears against a softened
background.
- The portrait mode is most effective when used outdoors.

wedding or on stage.
Beach
- When recording seaside or lakeside scenes, the blue water is clearly recorded.

- When recording a snowy scene that makes the screen all white, this setting prevents sunken
colors and records images clearly.
High Speed

Food
- Records the color of subjects clearly by increasing saturation.
This function is useful when recording items such as foods and fruits.
