Shooting according to
scene conditions
Mode selector:
When shooting night scenes, shooting
people at night, shooting landscapes, or
shooting a waterfront or a snowscape, use
the modes listed below to increase the
quality of your images.
Twilight mode
Under dark lighting conditions, you can
shoot a distant night view. However,
because the shutter speed is slower under
these conditions, we recommend you use a
tripod.
•
You cannot shoot in Macro mode.
•
The flash cannot be used.
Twilight portrait mode
Use this mode when shooting people in the
foreground at night. This mode allows you
to shoot images of people in the foreground
with distinct outlines without losing the
feeling that you are shooting at night.
Because the shutter speed is slow, it is
recommended that you use a tripod.
•
The flash forcely strobes.
Landscape mode
Focuses on images far away, so is
convenient for shooting landscapes at a
distance.
•
You cannot shoot in Macro mode.
•
The flash is set to (Forced flash) or
(No
flash).
Snow mode
When the whole of the screen turns white,
such as when you are shooting a snowscape,
use this mode. This mode prevents the
image from losing color and brightens each
color.
•
The flash is set to (Forced flash) or
(No
flash).
Beach mode
When shooting at the seaside or the
lakeside, the blue of the sea is clearly
recorded.
•
The flash is set to (Forced flash) or
(No
flash).
