MANUAL Digital Macro Allows you to shoot when the distance from the lens (at maximum wide angle) to the subject is within 5 - 50 cm (2.0 in. - 1.6 ft.). The subject can be shown larger than in standard macro mode because the camera trims the image edges and zooms in with the digital zoom. Shooting Stitch Assist Allows you to shoot overlapping images that can later be merged (stitched) to create one panoramic image on a computer. See the Advanced Guide (p. 44). Portrait Blurs the background and makes a person stand out. Night Snapshot Allows you to take snapshots of people against twilight or night backgrounds by reducing the effects of camera shake even without using a tripod. Kids&Pets Allows you to capture subjects that move around, such as children and pets, without missing photo opportunities. Indoor Prevents camera shake and maintains the subject's true color when shooting under florescent or tungsten lighting. SPECIAL SCENE Foliage Shoots trees and leaves-such as new growth, autumn leaves or blossoms-in vivid colors. Snow Shoots without a blue tinge and without making people appear dark against a snowy background. Beach Shoots without making people appear dark near water or sand where reflected sunlight is strong. Fireworks Captures fireworks in the sky sharply and at optimal exposure. Underwater Appropriate for shooting images with Waterproof Case WP-DC80 (sold separately). This mode uses an optimal white balance setting to reduce bluish tones and record images with a natural hue. The exposure is regulated to use the flash as little as possible. 7
