Scene Mode Precautions

Some Scene Mode scenes cannot be used while recording a video.

The Voice REC scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot or recording a video.

Some scenes like Night Scene and Fireworks results in a slow shutter speed setting. Since a slow shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the photo, the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process when either of these scenes is selected. This means that it will take a bit longer for the photo to be saved which is indicated by the back lamp flashing green. Do not perform any key operation during that time. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to avoid image blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds.

High Sensitivity

The high sensitivity setting is disabled whenever the camera’s flash fires.

High sensitivity may not produce the desired results in very dark conditions.

When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a tripod to protect against blurring due to camera movement.

Under certain lighting conditions, the camera will perform an automatic noise filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the photo. This operation causes the camera to take longer than normal to save the photo and be ready for the next shot.

Scene Mode scene images were not shot using this camera.

Photos shot using a Scene Mode scene may not produce the results you expected due to shooting conditions and other factors.

You can modify the camera settings that are made after you select a Scene Mode scene. Note, however, that the Scene Mode settings revert to their defaults when you select another Scene Mode scene or turn off the camera.
