Night Scene
Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at
night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed than
is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take
a picture of a street at night in
P
mode, the lack of
brightness will result in a dark picture with only dots
of light. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true
appearance of the street is captured. Since the
shutter speed is slow, make sure that you stabilize
the camera by using a tripod.
b
Underwater Wide
Suitable for taking pictures of underwater scenery
that spans a wide area. This mode vibrantly
reproduces the blue background. Use the optional
underwater housing when selecting this setting.

a
Underwater Macro
Set this mode to take close-ups underwater. It is
suitable for taking pictures of fish and marine life at
close range. The natural colors found underwater
are accurately reproduced. Additionally, reds can be
accentuated by using the flash. Use the optional
underwater housing when selecting this setting.
