adjustments. The camera sets optimal focus and exposure. This is the
simplest of all shooting modes.
Portrait shooting
Suitable for shooting a portrait-style image of a person. This mode features an
in-focus subject against a blurred background. The camera automatically sets
the optimal shooting settings.
Sports shooting
Suitable for capturing fast-moving action (such as sports) without blurring. The
camera automatically sets the optimal shooting settings.
Landscape-Portrait shooting
Suitable for taking photos of both your subject and the background. The
picture is taken with the background as well as the subject in the foreground
in focus. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting settings.
Landscape-Scene shooting
Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. Both the
foreground and the background are in focus. Blues and greens are
reproduced vividly in this mode, the Landscape-Scene mode is excellent for
shooting natural scenery. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting
settings.
Night-Scene shooting
Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a
slower shutter speed than is used in normal shooting.
Self Portrait shooting
Enables you to take a picture of yourself while holding the camera. Point the
lens towards you and take a shot. The focus is locked on you (shooter). The
camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting
condition. Zooming is not possible in this mode.
