Programmed Image Control Modes Select a shooting mode to suit the target subject, and the camera will be set to obtain the best results. U Portrait This mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out. • Holding down the shutter button executes continuous shooting. • To improve the background blur, use a telephoto lens and fill the frame with the subject or have the subject stand farther away from the background. I Landscape This is for wide scenic views, night scenes, etc. • Using a wide-angle lens will further enhance the depth and breadth of the picture. O Close-up Use this mode to take close-up shots of flowers, insects, etc. • As much as possible, focus the subject at the lens' closest focusing distance. • To obtain a larger magnification, use the telephoto end of a zoom lens. A blinking shutter speed indicates that the shutter speed is too slow to prevent a blurred picture due to camera shake. Be careful to hold the camera steady and press the shutter button smoothly, or use a tripod. (The shutter speed indicator still blinks when you use a tripod, but camera shake will not be a problem.) 20
