Shooting according to scene conditions - Scene Selection When shooting underwater, moving subjects, portraits, people at night, night scenes, or landscapes, use the modes below to improve the quality of your images. Underwater mode This mode is used when shooting underwater where there is sunlight (up to depths of 1.5 m (5 feet)). The white balance is automatically adjusted to the appropriate setting to enable impressive underwater photographs of your subjects. • When the camera is suddenly brought from a warm place into cold water, the lens may cloud. Allow the camera to adapt to the underwater temperature beforehand. • When using underwater, see "Before using your camera" on page 4, "Precautions" on page 74 and "On the O-ring" on page 79 before use. Active outdoor mode This mode lets you stop the movement of your subject and get lively shots of fastmoving objects in bright outdoor conditions. • When setting the focus to [AUTO], the focus is adjusted to approximately 1 m to (infinite). Soft snap mode This mode lets you shoot skin colors in brighter and warmer tones for more beautiful pictures. In addition, the soft focus effect creates a gentle atmosphere for portraits of people, flowers, etc. Illumination snap mode This mode lets you capture beautiful images of both subjects and night scene backgrounds at the same time. In addition, the cross filter effect enhances street lamps or other lights with cross-shaped rays. • Note that as shutter speeds decrease, shaking increases. • The flash strobes in red-eye reduction mode. • When setting the focus to [AUTO], the focus is adjusted to approximately 1 m to (infinite). To record subjects closer than 1 m, use the Focus preset (page 32). 30
