Picture-Taking Modes

For the best possible pictures, choose the mode that suits your conditions.

Use this mode	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.
Landscape	Distant subjects. Flash does not fire unless you turn it
	on. Auto focus framing marks (see page 21) 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.
