Shooting images according to the scene mode Modes for still images (Scene Selection) The following modes are preset to match the scene conditions. High Sensitivity Allows you to shoot images without a flash under low light conditions, reducing blur. Beach Allows you to record the blue of the water clearly when shooting seaside or lakeside scenes. Soft Snap Allows you to shoot images with a softer atmosphere for portraits and flowers, etc. Snow Allows you to record clear images preventing sunken colors in snowy scenes or other places where the whole screen appears white. Fireworks* Allows you to record fireworks in all their splendor. Landscape Focuses only on a distant subject to shoot landscapes, etc. Twilight Portrait* Allows you to shoot sharp images of people with the night view in the background without compromising the atmosphere. Hi-Speed Shutter Allows you to capture fast moving subjects outdoors or in other bright places. • The shutter speed becomes faster, so images shot in dark places become darker. Twilight* Allows you to shoot night scenes at far distance without losing the dark atmosphere of the surroundings. * When you shoot images using (Twilight Portrait), (Twilight) or (Fireworks) mode, the shutter speed is slower and the images tend to blur. To prevent blurring, the use of a tripod is recommended. 42
