TEXT - for the crisp reproduction of black
text on white backgrounds. The flash will
not fire in this mode when set to an
autoflash mode(p. 30).
• Use a tripod to eliminate camera shake and
ensure the sharpest images.
NIGHT PORTRAIT - for deep, subtle night scenes.
When used with fill-flash, the subject and background
exposures are balanced.
• When taking pictures of a landscape at night, use a tripod
to eliminate blurring from camera shake. To take portraits
with night scenes, set the
flash mode to fill-flash (p.
30). When taking portraits,
ask your subject not to move
after the flash burst; the
shutter will still be open for
the background exposure.
The digital-subject-program button (1) optimizes
the camera’s performance for various conditions
and subjects. Exposure, white-balance, and
image-processing systems work in unison for
beautiful results.
Pressing the subject-program button cycles
through the modes: macro, portrait, landscape,
night portrait, text, and the original exposure
mode. A pointer will indicate the active subject
program. The subject program will remain in
effect until it is changed or the mode dial is
turned to another position. Except for macro
mode, digital subject programs cannot be used
in the multi-function recording mode.
While camera performance is optimized for each shooting condition, some changes
can be made to camera settings with subject programs. The flash mode (p. 30) can be
changed and the exposure can be altered using the exposure-compensation function
(p. 46). In extreme lighting conditions, changes in exposure compensation may not
produce the intended results in the portrait, night portrait, or text modes. The camera-
shake warning (p. 31) may appear in macro, landscape, night portrait, or text modes.

MACRO - used for close-up photography between 16 and
60 cm from the CCD. When the macro mode is selected,
the lens will automatically zoom to the correct position.
The zoom position cannot be changed. The LCD monitor
will automatically activate and should be used to compose
the picture. The viewfinder cannot be used because of
parallax. The flash will not fire when set to an autoflash
mode (p. 30).
PORTRAIT - optimized to reproduce soft skin tones and
a slight defocusing of the background.
• Most portraits look best at a telephoto setting; the longer
focal length does not exaggerate facial features and the
shallower depth of field softens the background. Use fill flash
(p. 30) with strong direct sunlight to reduce harsh shadows.
LANDSCAPE - optimized to
produce sharp, colorful
landscapes. The flash will not
fire in this mode when set to
an autoflash mode (p. 30).
