Shoot by Lighting or Scene Type

3On the Quick Control screen, select the lighting or scene type.

Press the <Q> button (7).

Press the <V> key to select [ Default setting]. [Light/scene- based shots] will appear on the screen.

Press the <U> key or turn the <6> dial to select the desired lighting or scene type.

XThe LCD monitor will show how the image will look with the selected lighting or scene type.

4 Take the picture.

To shoot while the Live View image is displayed, press the shutter button. To return to viewfinder shooting, press the <A> button to exit Live View shooting. Then press the shutter button completely to take the picture. If you change the shooting mode or set the power switch to <2>, the setting will revert back to [ Default setting].

If you use flash, the setting will switch to [ Default setting]. (However, the shooting information will display the lighting or scene type that was set.) If you want to set this together with [Ambience-based shots], set the [Light/scene-based shots] that best matches the ambience you have set. In the case of [Sunset] for example, warm colors will become prominent so the ambience you set may not work well.

If you do not want the Live View image to be displayed when setting functions, press the <Q> button after step 1. Pressing the <Q> button will display the Quick Control screen. You can then set [Light/scene-based shots] and shoot with the viewfinder.
