SUBJECT PROGRAM SELECTION

Landscape Mode

Landscape photography requires a large depth-of-field to make sure everything is in focus. In Landscape mode, the camera is set to obtain the greatest depth- of-field possible, while maintaining a shutter speed fast enough to prevent blur due to camera shake.

Press the subject-program button until the subject-program

pointer is under .

Tips

•For best results zoom to a wide view or use a wide angle lens and include a foreground subject or detail to create a feeling of depth in the picture.

•Use flash when a subject in the foreground is backlit or has strong shadows across the face. If there is no subject in the foreground, do not use flash.

•Use a tripod, especially at slower shutter speeds.

SUBJECT PROGRAM SELECTION

Close-Up Mode

Set Close-Up mode when photographing small objects like flowers or jewelry. In Close-Up mode, the camera automatically sets the best possible aperture and shutter speed for the picture you are taking.

pointer is under .

Tips

•For best results use a macro lens or a macro capable zoom lens.

•Do not use the built-in flash if your subject is closer than 1.0m (3.3 ft.). The lens may block the flash, creating a shadow at the bottom of your image (lens shadowing).

•Use a tripod to reduce camera shake.
