Chapter 1 Section 2 Basic Shooting

Shooting with Scenery-Matching

If you use the Scene Mode, you can select from among six types of shooting modes and shoot automat- ically with optimal settings for the scene.

You can select a mode from the following six types, in Scene Mode.

PORTRAIT

NIGHTSCAPE

This is best for taking pictures of people.

Use when shooting night scenes. You can also shoot with people in the frame.

SPORTS

This is best for pictures of moving objects.

TEXT MODE

This is best for black and white subjects like printed docu- ments. These still images are recorded as TIFF format files.

LANDSCAPE

This is best for scenery with a lot of blue sky or greenery.

HIGH SENSITIVITY

This is best for taking pictures in dimly lit places.

• You can set White Balance while in Scene Mode as well (see P.58), but it may not be possible to get the effect that matches a scene.

• Manual focus cannot be used in Scene Mode.

• In Scene Mode, those pictures displayed in the background of the explanation screen are just for effect.
