For:

Auto

General picture-taking. Automatically sets exposure,

 

focus, and flash.

Sport

Subjects that are in motion. Shutter speed is fast.

Portrait

Full-frame portraits of people. Allows the subject to be

 

sharp and the background to be indistinct. For best

 

results, fill the frame with a head-and-shoulders pose.

 

Use the Telephoto (T) zoom button to exaggerate

 

background blur.

Night

Night scenes or low-light conditions. For shutter

 

speeds slower than 1/60 second, place the camera on

 

a flat, steady surface or use a tripod. Due to slow

 

shutter speeds, advise people to stay still for a few

 

seconds after the flash fires.

Distant subjects. Flash does not fire unless you turn it

 

on. Auto focus framing marks (see page 18) are not

 

available in Landscape.

Close-up

Close subjects 4-24 in. (10-60 cm) from the lens in

 

Wide Angle; 9.8-33.5 in. (25-85 cm) in Telephoto. Use

 

available light instead of flash if possible. Use the

 

camera screen to frame the subject.
