Programmed Image Control Modes

Select a shooting mode to suit the target subject, and the camera will be set to obtain the best results.

UPortrait

This mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out.

•Holding down the shutter button executes continuous shooting.

•To improve the background blur, use a telephoto lens and fill the frame with the subject or have the subject stand farther away from the background.

ILandscape

This is for wide scenic views, night scenes, etc.

•Using a wide-angle lens will further enhance the depth and breadth of the picture.

OClose-up

Use this mode to take close-up shots of flowers, insects, etc.

•As much as possible, focus the subject at the lens’ closest focusing distance.

•To obtain a larger magnification, use the telephoto end of a zoom lens.

A blinking shutter speed indicates that the shutter speed is too slow to prevent a blurred picture due to camera shake. Be careful to hold the camera steady and press the shutter button smoothly, or use a tripod. (The shutter speed indicator still blinks when you use a tripod, but camera shake will not be a problem.)
