Olympus D-550 D-550 Zoom Basic Manual (8.3MB) - Page 22

LANDSCAPE Suitable for taking photos of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. The camera focuses on a distant tree or mountain to produce a clear picture. Since blues and greens are vividly reproduced in this mode, the landscape mode is excellent for shooting natural scenery. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions. En NIGHT SCENE Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. If you take a picture of a street at night in any other mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with only dots of light showing. In this mode, the true appearance of the street is captured. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions. • The shutter speed will extend up to 2 seconds even when the flash is set to fire. • The noise reduction function will activate automatically for exposures longer than 1 second. You cannot take any pictures during noise reduction processing. SELF PORTRAIT Enables you to take a picture of yourself while holding the camera. Point the lens towards yourself and the focus will be locked on you. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions. The zoom is fixed in the Wide position and cannot be changed. MOVIE Lets you record movies. The camera maintains the correct focus and exposure even if your subject moves or the distance between your subject and the camera changes. You cannot record movies with sound. 22 En
