Using Scene Modes

What is Scene Mode?

Scene Mode provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the camera, simply find the scene that matches what you are trying to achieve, and the camera sets up for it automatically. This helps to minimize the chance of ruined photos due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.
