the same as for the mode (p.33).

and Shooting Modes
Always use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
zSee page 159 for settings that can be
changed in each mode.
zTips for each function:
Portrait Mode
•You can achieve a better blurring effe ct of
the background by making sure the upper
half of your subject fills the entire LCD
monitor or viewfinder.
•You can enhance the blur ring effect of the
background even more by setting the lens
to its telephoto end setting.
Landscape Mode
•The icon (camera shake warning) may
appear on the LCD monitor since slower
shutter speeds are frequently used in this
mode. If this happens, affix the camera to a
tripod.
Night Scene Mode
•The shutter speed slows down. Even if you
use the flash, tell your subjects not to move
for a few moments.
•If the Night Scene mode is used to shoot
mid-day shots, the same effects as with the
mode can be obtained.
Fast Shutter
•Noise in the recorded image may increase
if you shoot in dark conditions.
