Chapter 4 Shooting mode setting - Mode dial Set the mode dial to S-Prg, P or A/S/M/ . ● The camera turns on. Since the lens automatically extends when the camera is turned on, take off the lens cap first. ● When the camera mode is set to S-Prg or A/S/M/ , the monitor turns on automatically. Scene program shooting Five program shooting modes ( Portrait, Sports, Landscape, Night-scene and Movie modes) are available, where functions such as exposure and flash are preset or preadjusted so that they best suit five typical shooting conditions. You can shoot clear pictures by simply selecting the desired mode. Portrait mode Suitable to shoot portraits. It effectively makes a person stand out by focusing only on a person and keeping a background out of focus. Sports mode Suitable to shoot moving subjects such as athletes' quick movements and moving cars. As it captures subjects in motion as if they stand still, it assures you to seize a passing shooting opportunity such as momentary change in facial expression. Landscape mode Suitable to shoot persons against a background. This mode allows you to keep both the persons at close range and the distant landscape in focus, providing you with the appropriate camera condition for taking souvenir pictures at a sightseeing spot. Night-scene mode Suitable to shoot night-scenes. This mode automatically sets the camera settings, so that they best fit the night-scene shooting and allows you to get clear pictures of night scenes that cannot be obtained by normal shooting, where shooting a night scene full of shiny street lights result in a picture that has only lucent dots scattered on a black background. We recommend the use of a tripod when you shoot a night scene. Shot with P (program) mode 64 Shot with Night-scene mode
