Shooting Modes
Always use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
See page 159 for settings that can be
changed in each mode.
Tips for each function:
Portrait Mode
• You can achieve a better blurring effect of
the background by making sure the upper
half of your subject fills the entire LCD
monitor or viewfinder.
• You can enhance the blurring effect of the
background even more by setting the lens
to its telephoto end setting.
Landscape Mode
• The
icon (camera shake warning) may
appear on the LCD monitor since slower
shutter speeds are frequently used in this
mode. If this happens, affix the camera to a
tripod.
Night Scene Mode
• The shutter speed slows down. Even if you
use the flash, tell your subjects not to move
for a few moments.
• If the Night Scene mode is used to shoot
mid-day shots, the same effects as with the
mode can be obtained.
Fast Shutter
• Noise in the recorded image may increase
if you shoot in dark conditions.
