Description

 

 

 

 

 

The simplest and usually safest way to shoot basic photos. Settings are

 

Auto

automatically adjusted by the camera. Each time the camera is Powered

 

off then on, this mode will be selected by default. This is recommended for

 

 

 

 

novice photographers.

 

 

 

 

 

The camera automatically adjusts suitable shooting settings like shutter speed

 

Program

and aperture values. However, this mode allows for manual adjustments to

 

 

EV, Auto White Balance, ISO (gain), Metering, and Color effects.

 

 

 

 

Intelligent Scene

The camera detects the shooting conditions and automatically switches to the

 

appropriate scene mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This scene mode will attempt to isolate the subject by opening a wide

 

Portrait

aperture to blur the background and providing little depth of field.

 

The subject will stand out because the background is blurry and the subject is

 

 

 

 

in focus.

 

 

 

 

Landscape

This feature is used to emphasize wide distant scenic views.

 

 

 

 

Sunset

This feature enhances the red hue for recording dramatic sunrise or sunset

 

images.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This feature is best used to capture photos with a strong backlight. For

 

Backlight

example, this mode will lighten the exposure to make the face of the person

 

in the foreground to look normal instead of dark while maintaining the clarity

 

 

 

 

and brightness of the background details.

 

 

 

 

 

This feature forces the camera to select settings that will be optimal for

 

Kids

moving kids. Red eye reduction and skin tone enhancement are also a benefit

 

 

of using this mode.

 

 

 

 

 

This feature is used to taking photos with night scenery background. Camera

 

Night Scene

settings will be adjusted to capture brighter and more vivid night shots. For

 

best results and reduced image blurring, the use of a tripod for this mode is

 

 

 

 

strongly recommended.

 

 

 

 

 

This feature slows shutter speed to capture the full burst of fireworks.

 

Fireworks

Another interesting use would be to take photos of night traffic. This will

 

produce artistic head and tail light stretch effects For best results and reduced

 

 

 

 

image blurring, the use of a tripod for this mode is strongly recommended.

 

 

 

 

 

This scene mode is best used when you’re shooting against a bright

 

 

background, such as snow or sand. This will enable the camera to focus on

 

Snow

the subject instead of the background to determine the proper exposure and

 

 

AWB settings for optimal results. If not selected, the subject may be too dark

 

 

and the background “washed out”.

 

 

 

 

 

This scene mode will continue to capture images as long as the shutter button

 

Sports

is pressed down. This is designed to aid for subjects in constant motion. It

 

should only be used in adequate lighting situations because the flash will be

 

 

 

 

disabled.

 

 

 

 

Party

This scene mode will set red-eye flash and narrow other parameters that best

 

match typical indoor wedding/party conditions.

 

 

Candlelight

This feature is used to capture warm candle light effects.
