The Scenes feature helps you to quickly set up the camera for common situations using preprogrammed scenes. The camera determines a number of settings for you to fit the selected scene, ensuring the best possible video.

Off

The camera automatically adjusts settings for a video.

Portrait

Use for portrait videos. Settings are optimized to give slightly softer skin tones.

Landscape

Use for videos of landscapes. The camera focuses on distant objects. When Landscape is selected, focus mode is changed to Infinity

Night mode

When turned on, light sensitivity is increased. Use in poorly lit environments. Videos of fast moving objects may get blurred. Hold your hand steady, or use a support. Turn off night mode when lighting conditions are good, to improve the video quality

Beach and snow

Use in bright environments to avoid underexposed videos
