Selecting a Shooting Mode

Shooting Mode

You can take an optimal picture simply by selecting the appropriate shooting mode.

	Auto	Leaves almost all of the settings choices up to the camera (p.
		59).
	Manual	Lets you adjust the exposure, white balance, photo effect and
		other settings yourself.
		You can approach as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.) (minimum
	Digital	focusing distance) to a subject to shoot (p. 70). Since this
		mode trims all but the image center and magnifies it with the
	Macro
		digital zoom, you can make a subject appear even larger than in
		the normal macro mode.
	Portrait	Produces a soft effect when photographing people.
	Night	Use this to take snapshots of people against twilight or night
		backgrounds to reduce the effects of camera shake even
	Snapshot
		without using a tripod.
	Kids&Pets	Allows you to capture subjects that move around, such as
		children and pets, without missing photo opportunities.
		Prevents camera shake and maintains the subject’s true color
	Indoor	when shooting under florescent or tungsten lightning.
		The exposure is regulated so as to avoid the use of flash as
		much as possible.
		Appropriate for shooting images with the All Weather Case AW-
	Underwater	DC30 (sold separately). This mode uses an optimal white
		balance setting to reduce bluish tones and record images with
		natural hues.
