Shooting Mode
Leaves almost all of the settings choices up to the camera (p.
55).
Lets you adjust the exposure, white balance and color effect
settings yourself.
You can approach as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.) to a subject to
shoot (p. 64).
Use this mode when you want the subject to appear sharp and
the background blur. You can also capture minute gradations in
skin and hair tones for beautiful images. By composing the
image with a person's upper body filling the LCD monitor, you
can effectively blur the background.
Use this to record landscape scenery. You can also use it to
focus on distant subjects when both close and distant objects
are mixed in a composition.
Use this to take snapshots of people against twilight or night
backgrounds to reduce camera blur even without using a
tripod.
Prevents camera shake and maintains the subject's true color
when shooting under florescent or tungsten lightning.
The exposure is regulated so as to avoid the use of flash as
much as possible.
Appropriate for shooting images with the All Weather Case AW-
DC10 (sold separately). This mode uses an optimal white
balance setting to reduce bluish tones and record images with
natural hues.
