Night portrait
Use for portrait photos at night or in poorly lit environments (with or without the flash). Due to long exposure
time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.
Beach and snow
Use in bright environments to avoid underexposed photos.
Sports
Use for photos of fast-moving objects. Short exposure time minimises motion blurring.
Party
Use for indoor photos in poorly lit environments. This scene picks up indoor background lighting or
candlelight. Due to long exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.
Document
Use for photos of text or drawings. Gives the photo increased, sharper contrast.
This setting is only available in Normal capturing mode.
Flash
Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a backlight
Auto
The camera automatically determines if the lighting conditions require the use of a flash.
Fill flash
Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This removes unwanted dark shadows.
Off
The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting conditions
are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the self-timer to avoid
blurred photos.
