Picture-Taking Modes
Use this mode
For:
Auto
General picture-taking. Automatically sets exposure,
focus, and flash.
Night
Night scenes or low-light conditions. Place the camera
on a flat, steady surface or use a tripod. Due to slow
shutter speeds, advise people to stay still for a few
seconds after flash fires.
Landscape
Distant subjects. Flash does not fire unless you set it
(see
page 22
).
Close-up
Close subjects 4-24 in. (10-60 cm) from the lens in
Wide Angle; 8-24 in. (20-60 cm) in Telephoto. Use
available light instead of flash if possible. Use the
camera screen to frame the subject.
Video
Capture video with sound. See
page 35
.
For the best possible pictures, choose
the mode that suits your conditions.
