Shooting Mode

iPRO FOCUS MODE

The camera takes up to three shots when the shutter-release button is pressed, softening the background to emphasize the main subject for results on par with single-lens refl ex cameras. The amount of softening can be adjusted before shooting by rotating command dial.

aNote

Background objects that are too close to the main subject will not be softened. If a message stating that the camera is unable to create the effect is displayed when the camera focuses, try backing away from your subject and increasing zoom. The camera may also be unable to soften the background if the subject is moving; if prompted, check the results and try again.

cCautions

•Hold the camera steady during shooting.

•Frame coverage is reduced in this mode.

jPRO LOW-LIGHT MODE

Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes four shots and combines them to form a single exposure. Use to reduce noise and blur when photographing poorly lit subjects or static subjects at high zoom ratios.

aNote

A single exposure may not be created with some scenes if the subject or camera moves during shooting. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

cCaution

Frame coverage is reduced in this mode.
