Sports

This program is useful for recording high-speed sports scenes in brightly lit conditions. Normal playback will be slightly jerky, but you will get clear images which can be analyzed frame by frame during slow or paused playback.

Portrait

Use this program outdoors to make subjects stand out from a softened foreground and background. It works well for still lives and close-ups. The effect is most noticeable when the zoom position is between the middle range and the telephoto end. Focus manually for maximum accuracy, and be careful when recording action scenes, as this program may cause fast moving objects to shudder.

Spotlight

This program is designed for recording spotlit scenes, such as on a stage. The exposure is automatically adjusted for glare-free recordings of subjects lit by a concentrated light source.

Sand & Snow

Use this program in places where the background is so bright that the subject appears underexposed in the display — a sunny beach or ski resort, for example. You may notice some shudder when recording moving subjects.

of slow or stationary subjects, as moving

 

subjects may leave a trailing

after-image. However, you can take advantage of this to create special effects, by rapid zooming or by panning along with a moving subject. Image quality will not be as good as in normal lighting conditions, and autofocus may not work as good as in other modes.
