Shooting with Optimal Settings According to Shooting Conditions

You can use scene mode to select from among five still image modes and shoot with settings automatically optimized for shooting conditions.

Scene Modes

				Use when taking pictures in dimly lit places. The LCD monitor also
				becomes brighter.
	HIGH SENS
				Use to capture images under difficult conditions such as the scene of
				a fire. The focal length is fixed to 2.5 m, allowing you to take clear
	FIREFIGHTING			pictures in a situation where the auto focus would normally produce
	FIREFIGHTING			blurred images due to flames, smoke and water vapor. Increasing the
				ISO sensitivity extends the range of the flash, and prevents camera
				shake by controlling the shutter speed even when the flash is not
				used. The sharpness level is also increased in this mode and the
				LCD monitor becomes brighter and is suited for firefighting.
				Use to straighten a rectangular object, such as a message board or

				business card, shot at an angle to make it look as if it were shot
				squarely. For detailed operations, see P.42.
	SKEW COR MODE			squarely. For detailed operations, see P.42.
	SKEW COR MODE

In skew correction mode, choose from [F1280], [N1280], and [N640]

for [PIC QUALITY/SIZE]. (GP.61)

Use when capturing text images, for example notes written on a

whiteboard at a meeting.

You can also change the shading of text. (GP.57)

You can set the image size to either 3264 × 2448 or 2048 × 1536

pixels. (GP.61)

Use when taking a further close-up picture during macro shooting.

Using the digital zoom allows you to take a larger close-up than with

normal macro shooting. For detailed operations, see P.43.

ZOOM MACRO

The optical zoom cannot be used in this mode.

You can shoot close-ups within the following distances.

When digital zoom is not used: About 5 mm from the very front of the

camera

(Shooting range: Approx. 27 mm × 20 mm)

When 4.0× digital zoom is used: About 5 mm from the very front of

the camera

(Shooting range: Approx. 6.8 mm × 5 mm)
