SPORTS
High shutter speed clearly captures fast-moving action.
SNOW
Useful when recording scenes in bright surroundings, such as snow, where subjects might
otherwise appear too dark.
SPOTLIGHT
Useful when recording scenes in strong direct lighting, such as spotlights, where subjects
might otherwise appear too bright.
Note: Spotlight has the same effect as -3 using the exposure control.
TWILIGHT
Dusk, twilight scenery, fireworks, etc., look more natural and dramatic. When Twilight
mode is selected:
• Auto gain control is turned off.
• White Balance is set to FINE (day mode), but can also be manually changed to
another mode (see page 72).
• Auto Focus becomes available only in the range of 10 m (32 ft.) to infinity. To focus
when the subject-to-camera distance is less than 10 m (32 ft.), use manual focusing
(see page 71).
SEPIA
Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos. Combine this with the Cinema
mode for a classic look (see page 58).
