Shooting with Optimal Settings According
to Shooting Conditions
You can use Scene Mode to select from among five Still Image
Modes and shoot with settings automatically optimized for
shooting conditions.
HIGH SENS
Use when taking pictures in dimly lit places. The LCD monitor also
becomes brighter.
FIREFIGHTING
Use to capture images under difficult conditions such as the scene of
a fire. The focal length is fixed to 2.5 m, allowing you to take clear
pictures in a situation where the auto focus would normally produce
blurred images due to flames, smoke and water vapor. Increasing the
ISO sensitivity extends the range of the flash, and prevents camera
shake by controlling the shutter speed even when the flash is not
used. The sharpness level is also increased in this mode and the
LCD monitor becomes brighter and is suited for firefighting.
SKEW COR MODE
Use to straighten a rectangular object, such as a message board or
business card, shot at an angle to make it look as if it were shot
squarely. For detailed operations, see P.42.
In Skew Correction Mode, choose from [F1280], [N1280], and [N640]
for [PIC QUALITY/SIZE]. (
