Basic shooting functions Selecting a shooting mode according to the situation Use the mode dial to switch between shooting modes before taking pictures. You can take pictures with the optimum settings by setting the mode dial according to the shooting conditions or purpose. (Shooting mode P Program Auto Suitable for general situations. The camera automatically uses settings that captures the scene in its natural colors. You can set other functions such as exposure compensation as desired. 3 h Auto Takes pictures in full auto. i Portrait Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. This mode is optimum for reproducing silky skin tones. l Landscape Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. Both the foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are vividly reproduced in this mode, it is excellent for shooting natural scenery. z 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. For example, if you take a picture of a street at night in P mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with only dots of light. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the street is captured. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure that you stabilize the camera by using a tripod. j Sports Suitable for capturing fast-moving action (such as sports) without blurring. Even fastmoving subjects appear to be stationary. 34
