Selecting a Scene Mode to Take Pictures (Features)

• The mode dial can be used to select scenes when shooting (A44).
• See "Shooting in the Scene Selected by the Camera (Scene Auto Selector)"
(A46) for more information on Scene auto selector scene mode.
• The X shown for each scene is the setting for the flash mode when the flash is
raised (A36). n is the setting for the Self-timer (A39), p is the setting for
focus mode (A40) and o is the setting for exposure compensation (A43).
j Night landscape
Use this mode to capture the ambience of night landscapes.
Press the d button to select Hand-held or Tripod in Night
landscape.
• Hand-held (default setting): This enables you to shoot with
the minimum of camera shake and noise even when holding
the camera by hand.
- The Y icon is displayed on the shooting screen.
- When the j icon at the top left of the monitor lights in green, press the shutter-release
button all the way to shoot a series of pictures, which will be combined into a single
image and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without
moving it until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera
off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (image area) seen in the saved image will be narrower than that seen
on the monitor at the time of shooting.
• Tripod: Select this mode when the camera is stabilized, such as with a tripod.
- The Z icon is displayed on the shooting screen.
- Vibration reduction (A193) is automatically set to Off regardless of the applied
option in the setup menu (A185).
- Press the shutter-release button all the way to shoot a single picture at slow shutter
speeds.
• Camera focuses at infinity. When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus
area always lights in green. However, because the camera focuses at infinity, it may not
be able to focus on nearby objects.
• The digital zoom is not available.
• AF-assist illuminator (A196) does not light.
X
* Other settings can be selected.
Q: Noise reduction is performed for pictures shot in scene modes with Q, so they may take longer
to record.
