Using the Shooting Modes Shooting modes use a pre-defined set of camera settings that are optimized for taking still pictures of certain scene types to give you better results. In each shooting mode, the camera selects the best settings, such as the ISO speed, F-number (aperture), and shutter speed, optimizing them for the particular scene or situation. NOTE: The shooting mode does not apply when you are recording video clips. 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 Action Description Use Auto Mode when you need to take a good shot quickly, and do not have time to select a special shooting mode on the camera. Auto Mode works well for most shots in normal situations. The camera automatically selects the best F-number (aperture), ISO speed, and shutter speed for the scene. Use Macro mode to take close-up pictures of subjects less than 50 cm (20 in) away. In this mode, auto focus has a distance range of 20 to 50 cm (8 to 20 in), and the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus (see Focusing the Camera on page 36). Use Action mode to capture sporting events, moving cars, or any scene where you want to stop the action. The camera uses fast shutter speeds and higher ISO speeds to stop motion. 42 HP Photosmart M22/M23 User's Manual
