Selecting a Shooting Mode

Following shooting modes can be selected.
A Auto mode
Pictures can be taken with an automatic, "point-and-shoot" mode recommended for
first-time users of digital cameras. The flash mode and macro mode settings can be
changed, and other settings are available, such as the continuous setting or the
"subject tracking" option, which moves the active focus area to track the registered
subject.
C Scene mode
Camera settings are automatically optimized for the selected scene. In scene auto
selector mode, the camera automatically selects the optimum scene mode for simpler
shooting.
F Smart portrait mode
The camera uses the face detection function to detect human faces, and automatically
releases the shutter when a smile is detected. The skin softening option can be used to
make skin tones of human faces displayed smoothly.
