Shooting still images (Scene selection) Scene Selection modes The following modes are predetermined to match the scene conditions. High Sensitivity Allows you to shoot images without a flash under low light conditions, reducing blur. Twilight* Allows you to shoot night scenes at far distance without losing the dark atmosphere of the surroundings. Landscape Focuses only on a distant subject to shoot landscapes, etc. Soft Snap Allows you to 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. Twilight Portrait* Suitable for shooting portraits in dark places. Allows you to shoot sharp images of people in dark places without losing the dark atmosphere of the surroundings. Beach When shooting seaside or lakeside scenes, the blue of the water is clearly recorded. Snow When shooting snowy scenes or other places where the whole screen appears white, use this mode to prevent sunken colors and record clear images. * The shutter speed is slower in (Twilight mode) and (Twilight Portrait mode), so using a tripod is recommended. 26
