Shooting according to scene conditions - Scene Selection Twilight mode Twilight portrait mode Landscape mode Portrait mode Shooting still images When shooting night scenes, shooting people at night, shooting landscapes, or shooting portraits, use the modes listed below to increase the quality of your images. Twilight mode Under dark lighting conditions, you can shoot a distant night view. However, because the shutter speed is slower under these conditions, we recommend you use a tripod. • You cannot use the following functions in Twilight mode: - Macro mode shooting - Shooting with the flash - Exposure Bracket - Burst mode shooting - Multi Burst mode shooting Twilight portrait mode Use this mode when shooting people in the foreground at night. This mode allows you to shoot images of people in the foreground with distinct outlines without losing the feeling that you are shooting at night. Because the shutter speed is slow, it is recommended that you use a tripod. • The flash is set to (Slow synchro). • You cannot shoot in Exposure Bracket, Burst, or Multi Burst mode. Landscape mode Focuses on images far away, so is convenient for shooting landscapes at a distance. • You cannot shoot in macro mode. • The flash is set to (Forced flash) or (No flash). Portrait mode Backgrounds blur away, and the subject is sharpened. 37
