cannot be used because of parallax. The flash will not fire when set to an auto flash mode.

(Portrait) Mode

Optimized to reproduce soft skin tones and a slight defocusing of the background. Most portraits

look best at a telephoto setting; the longer focal length does not exaggerate facial features and the

shallower depth of field softens the background.

(Landscape) Mode

Optimized to produce sharp, colorful landscapes. Used when recording scenery. The flash will not

fire in this mode when set to auto flash mode.

(Night Portrait) Mode

Used when recording portrait with night scenes. Set the flash mode to fill-in flash when taking

portraits, and ask your subject not to move after the flash burst ; the shutter will still be open for the

background exposure. Under low light conditions, the shutter speed will become slow. Since this

may result in the image becoming blurred, use of a tripod is also recommended.

(TEXT) Mode

Used for the crisp reproduction of black text on white background. The flash will not fire in this mode

when set to an auto flash mode. Use of a tripod is recommended.

Toggle the flash mode button to select Auto flash, Fill-in, Off, Auto flash with Red-Eye Reduction,

Fill-in flash with Red-Eye Reduction until the desired mode is displayed. The flash recording range

is 0.5 to 3.5m when the camera is set to wide-angle position and 0.9 to 3.0m when set to telephoto

position.

(Auto flash) Mode

When recording in a dark place and backlit conditions, the camera will automatically determine

whether the flash is necessary.

(Fill-in Flash) Mode

Used to soften dark shadows on the face of the subject due to back light, strong direct light or

sunlight. The flash will always be used regardless of the surrounding brightness.

(Flash Off) Mode

Used when recording in a place where flash photography is prohibited, or when utilizing the night

view or indoor lighting for recording. The flash will always be off during recording.

Under low light conditions, the shutter speed will become slow. Since this may result in the image

becoming blurred, use of a tripod is recommended. The camera shake warning may appear when

Flash Off is selected. (Page 40)
