If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

Shooting with Optimal Settings According to Shooting Conditions

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

Scene Modes

 

 

 

Use when taking pictures in dimly lit places. The picture display 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

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

picture display 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

SKEW

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

whiteboard at a meeting.

 

 

 

You can also change the shading of text. (GP.64)

TEXT MODE

 

 

 

You can set the image size to either 3648 × 2736 or 2048 × 1536

 

 

 

pixels. (GP.69)

 

 

 

The zoom position is automatically optimized, allowing you to take a

 

 

 

 

 

 

larger close-up than with normal macro shooting.

 

 

 

The optical zoom cannot be used in this mode.

ZOOM MACRO

 

 

 

For detailed operations, see P.47.

 

 

 

Allows you to shoot movies with sound.
