modes or standard settings (Normal mode).

s (Landscape)

saturation of trees and the sky, and produces a bright

 

image.

q (Macro)

Lets you take vibrant pictures of flowers and other

small subjects at short distances.

 

\ (Moving Object)

Lets you take sharp pictures of a quickly moving

subject, such as at a sporting event.

 

. (Night Scene Portrait)

Lets you capture people against a night view or at dusk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a (Flash OFF)

The flash is deactivated. Other settings are the same

as the Normal mode in I.

 

H (Scene)

Lets you select from 8 shooting scenes depending on

the shooting conditions.

 

For . (Night Scene Portrait), the shutter speed becomes slower in dark places, even if the built-in flash is used. To prevent camera shake, either use the Shake Reduction function or mount the camera on a tripod.
