Various Shooting Methods

Kids&Pets

Allows you to capture subjects that move around, such as children and pets, without missing photo opportunities.

Indoor

Prevents camera shake and maintains the subject’s true color when shooting under fluorescent or tungsten lighting.

Foliage

Shoots trees and leaves—such as new growth, autumn leaves or blossoms—in vivid colors.

Snow

Shoots without a blue tinge and without making people appear dark against a snowy background.

Beach

Shoots without making people appear dark near water or sand where reflected sunlight is strong.

Fireworks

Captures fireworks in the sky sharply and at optimal exposure.
