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. 61).
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. 73). 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- DC30 (sold separately). This mode uses an optimal white
Underwater balance setting to reduce bluish tones and record images with natural hues. It controls the settings so that it limits the firing of the flash to the greatest possible extent.
My Colors Use these modes to change image colors and then shoot (p. 102).
