The camera sets shutter speed and aperture for opti-
mal exposure (0 29). Recommended for snapshots
and in other situations in which there is little time to
adjust camera settings.
You choose the shutter speed; the camera selects an
aperture for best results (0 30). Use to freeze or blur
motion.
You choose the aperture; the camera selects a shut-
ter speed for best results (0 31). Use to blur the
background or bring both foreground and back-
ground into focus.
You control both shutter speed and aperture (0 32).
Rotate the palette to choose creative effects while
previewing them in the display (0 34).
Photograph high-contrast scenes (0 35).
Shoot photographs with a soft filter effect. Use the &
(feature) menu (0 28) to select the amount of soft-
ening and to choose how softening applies to por-
traits.
The top and bottom of each photo is blurred so that
the subject appears to have been a diorama photo-
graphed at short range. Works best when shooting
from a high vantage point.

color (0 36).
Choose a base color to create photographs with dif-
ferent hues (0 37).
Alter color saturation and reduce peripheral illumi-
nation for a toy camera effect (0 73). The effect can
