Scene recognition

The camera determines which scene is most suitable. A scene icon appears when the scene is set

Smile detection

Capture a face just as it smiles. The camera detects up to five faces and selects one face for smile

detection and auto focus. When the selected face smiles, the camera automatically takes a photo

Touch capture

Use this setting to identify a particular focus area in the viewfinder. Touch the spot where you want the

focus to be. The photo is taken as soon as you touch the screen

Resolution

Select between several picture sizes and aspect ratios before taking a photo. A photo with a higher resolution

requires more memory

8MP 4:3

8 megapixel picture size with 4:3 aspect ratio. Suitable for photos you want to view on non-widescreen

displays or print in high resolution

6MP 16:9

6 megapixel picture size with 16:9 aspect ratio. A high resolution widescreen format. Has a higher

resolution than full HD. Suitable for photos you want to view on widescreen displays

displays

2MP 16:9

Scenes

Use Scenes to quickly set up the camera for common situations using pre-programmed scenes. The camera

has determined a number of settings for you to fit the selected scene, ensuring the best possible photo

Normal

The camera automatically adjusts settings for a photo

Portrait

Use for portrait photos. Face detection is turned on. Settings are optimised to give slightly softer skin

tones

Landscape

Use for landscape photos. The camera focuses on distant objects

Night scene

Use when taking photos at night or in poorly lit environments (without the photo light). Due to long

exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface

Night portrait

Use for portrait photos at night or in poorly lit environments (with or without the photo light). Due to

long exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface

Beach and snow

Use in bright environments to avoid underexposed photos

Sports

Use for photos of fast-moving objects. Short exposure time minimises motion blurring

Party

Use for indoor photos in poorly lit environments. This scene picks up indoor background lighting or

candlelight. Due to long exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface

Document

Use for photos of text or drawings. Gives the photo increased, sharper contrast

Focus mode

Focus controls which part of a photo should be sharp. When continuous autofocus is on, the camera keeps

adjusting focus so the area within the white focus frame stays sharp.

Single auto focus
