Selecting a Shooting Mode

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

Auto 55).
Manual
Lets you adjust the exposure, white balance and color effect settings yourself.
Macro
You can approach as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.) to a subject to shoot (p. 64).
Use this mode when you want the subject to appear sharp and the background blur. You can also capture minute gradations in
Portrait skin and hair tones for beautiful images. By composing the image with a person's upper body filling the LCD monitor, you can effectively blur the background.
Use this to record landscape scenery. You can also use it to Landscape focus on distant subjects when both close and distant objects
Night
are mixed in a composition.
Use this to take snapshots of people against twilight or night backgrounds to reduce camera blur even without using a
Snapshot
tripod.
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 DC10 (sold separately). This mode uses an optimal white balance setting to reduce bluish tones and record images with
natural hues.
