Selecting a Shooting Mode

Shooting Mode

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

Leaves almost all of the settings choices up to the camera (p.

Auto 59).

Manual

Lets you adjust the exposure, white balance, photo effect and other settings yourself.

Digital

You can approach as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.) (minimum focusing distance) to a subject to shoot (p. 70). Since this

Macro

mode trims all but the image center and magnifies it with the 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.

Indoor

Prevents camera shake and maintains the subject’s true color 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.
