Shooting Modes
AUTO
The camera automatically selects settings.
MANUAL
Manual
Allows you to select settings yourself, such as the exposure compensation, white
balance, my colors or ISO speed.
Digital Macro
Allows you to shoot when the distance from the lens (at
maximum wide angle) to the subject is within 5 – 50 cm (2.0
in. – 1.6 ft.). The subject can be shown larger than in
standard macro mode because the camera trims the image
edges and zooms in with the digital zoom.
Color Accent
Use this option to
have only the color
specified in the LCD
monitor remain and to
transform all others to
black and white.
Color Swap
Use this option
to transform a
color specified
in the LCD
monitor into
another.
Stitch Assist
Allows you to shoot overlapping images that can later be
merged (stitched) to create one panoramic image on a
computer.
SPECIAL
SCENE
Portrait
Produces a soft effect
when photographing
people.
Night
Snapshot
Allows you to take
snapshots of
people against
twilight or night backgrounds by
reducing the effects of camera shake
even without using a tripod.
Kids&Pets
Allows you to capture
subjects that move
around, such as
children and pets,
without missing photo
opportunities.
Indoor
Prevents camera
shake and
maintains the
subject's true color
when shooting
under fluorescent or tungsten lighting.
Foliage
Shoots trees and
leaves—such as new
growth, autumn
leaves or blossoms—
in vivid colors.
Snow
