To change the shooting mode, press the MODE button on the back of the camera until the desired shooting mode appears on the Image Display. The following table describes each of the shooting mode settings on the camera. Setting Auto Mode Macro Description The camera automatically selects the best F-number (aperture) and shutter speed for the scene. Auto mode works well for most shots in normal situations. This mode is also useful when you need to take a good shot quickly, and do not have time to select a special shooting mode on the camera. This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of subjects less than 0.5 m (20 in) away. In this mode, auto focus has a distance range of 0.1 to 0.5 m (4 to 20 in), and the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus (see Focusing the Camera on page 32). NOTE It is recommended that you not use zoom while in the Macro shooting mode. Fast Shot The camera uses a fixed focus instead of auto focus, allowing you to take pictures very quickly. Use this mode in bright light conditions when the subject is moderate to long distances away. Action The camera uses fast shutter speeds and higher ISO speeds to stop motion. Use Action mode to capture sporting events, moving cars, or any scene where you want to stop the action. Portrait The camera combines a smaller F-number to blur the background, with lower sharpness for a more natural effect. Use Portrait mode for pictures that have one or more people as their primary focal point. Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 39
