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 analysed 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-lifes 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.
