Video camera settings overview
Scene Selection
The Scene Selection feature helps you quickly set up the camera for common situations
using pre-programmed video scenes. Each scene setting is designed to produce the
best possible video quality in a specific recording environment.
Off
The Scene Selection feature is off and you can shoot videos manually.
Soft snap
Use for shooting videos against soft backgrounds.
Landscape
Use for videos of landscapes. The camera focuses on distant objects.
Night scene
When turned on, light sensitivity is increased. Use in poorly lit environments. Videos of fast-moving
objects may get blurred. Hold your hand steady, or use a support. Turn off night mode when lighting
conditions are good to improve the video quality.
Beach
Use for videos of seaside or lakeside scenes.
Snow
Use in bright environments to avoid overexposed videos.
Sports
Use for videoing fast-moving objects. Short exposure time minimizes motion blurring.
Party
Use for indoor videos in poorly lit environments. This scene picks up indoor background lighting or
candlelight. Videos of fast-moving objects may get blurred. Hold your hand steady, or use a support.
HDR video
Use the video HDR (High-Dynamic Range) setting to record a video against strong back
light or in conditions where the contrast is sharp. Video HDR compensates for the loss of
detail and produces a picture that is representative of both dark and bright areas.
