dSports

Use this mode when shooting sporting events. The camera captures a series of still images that allow you to clearly see detailed movements in a moving subject.

The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.

Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way to capture images continuously. Up to about four images are captured continuously at a rate of about 1.2 fps (when Image mode is set to P).

The camera focuses even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway. You may hear the sound of the camera focusing.

Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each series.

The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.

eNight portrait

O

Use this mode for evening and night portraits that include background scenery. The flash fires to light the portrait subject while preserving background lighting to achieve a natural balance between the main subject and background ambience.

Raise the flash before shooting.

When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A 65).

You can use the skin softening option to smooth the skin tones in human faces (A 47).

If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.

Digital zoom cannot be used.

fParty/indoor

Suitable for taking pictures at parties. Captures the effects of candlelight and other indoor background lighting.

The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.

As images are easily affected by camera shake, hold the camera

steadily. Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A 88) when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
