AUTO-RECORDING MODE
MACRO – used for
PORTRAIT – optimized to reproduce soft skin tones and a slight defocusing of the background. Most portraits look best at a telephoto setting; longer focal lengths do not exaggerate facial features and the shallower depth of field softens the background.
SPORTS ACTION – optimized to stop action. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection activates this mode when shooting moving subjects at a distance with a telephoto lens setting.
LANDSCAPE – optimized to produce sharp, colorful landscapes. With bright out- door scenery, Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection activates this mode when recording the broad expanse of a landscape.
SUNSET – optimized to produce rich, warm sunsets. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection recognizes the warmth of the setting sun in a landscape photo- graph and activates this mode.
NIGHT PORTRAIT – for deep, subtle night scenes. Because the flash does not fire, exposures can be long. The use of a tripod is recommended. If the flash mode is set to fill flash (p. 32), the flash and background exposures are balanced. Ask your subject not to move after the flash burst; the shutter may still be open for the background exposure.
