AUTO-RECORDING MODE
MACRO - used for close-up photography between 20 and 60 cm (0.7 -
2.0ft) from the CCD. The lens will automatically zoom to the macro
position and cannot be changed. Because of parallax, the LCD monitor
should be used to compose the picture.
NIGHT PORTRAIT - for deep, subtle night scenes. Because the flash
does not fire, exposures can be long. The use of a tripod is
recommended. If the flash mode is set to fill flash (p. 32), the flash and
background exposures are balanced. Ask your subject not to move
after the flash burst; the shutter may still be open for the background
exposure.

PORTRAIT - optimized to reproduce soft skin tones and a slight
defocusing of the background. Most portraits look best at a telephoto
setting; longer focal lengths do not exaggerate facial features and the
shallower depth of field softens the background.
LANDSCAPE - optimized to produce sharp, colorful landscapes. With
bright outdoor scenery, Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection
activates this mode when recording the broad expanse of a landscape.
SPORTS ACTION - optimized to stop action. Automatic Digital Subject
Program Selection activates this mode when shooting moving subjects
at a distance with a telephoto lens setting.
SUNSET - optimized to produce rich, warm sunsets. Automatic Digital
Subject Program Selection recognizes the warmth of the setting sun in
a landscape photograph and activates this mode.

The display-information button controls the LCD monitor display. The display cycles to
the next position each time the button is pressed: full display, live image only, and
monitor off.
Battery power can be conserved by turning the monitor off and using the viewfinder to
take pictures. When the menu or exposure-compensation button is pressed, or the
macro mode is activated, the monitor will automatically turn on. Automatic Digital
Subject Program Selection, Subject Tracking AF, Full-time AF (p. 65) and the digital
zoom are disabled when the monitor is off.
