Minolta DiMAGE F200 Instruction Manual page 30

MACRO - used for close-up photography between 20 and 60 cm (0.7 - 2.0ft) from
the CCD. The lens will automatically zoom to the macro position and cannot be
changed. Because of parallax, the LCD monitor should be used to compose the
picture. Full-time AF (p. 67) is employed. Available in the multi-function recording
mode.
PORTRAIT - optimized to reproduce soft skin tones and a slight defocusing of the
background. Most portraits look best at a telephoto setting; longer focal lengths do
not exaggerate facial features and the shallower depth of field softens the back-
ground.
SPORTS ACTION - optimized to stop action. Automatic Digital Subject Program
Selection activates this mode when shooting moving subjects at a distance with a
telephoto lens setting. Full-time AF (p. 67) is employed.
LANDSCAPE - optimized to produce sharp, colorful landscapes. With bright out-
door scenery, Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection activates this mode
with distant subjects a wide-angle lens setting. The flash will not fire in this mode.
To use the flash, change the flash mode to fill flash.
SUNSET - optimized to produce rich, warm sunsets. Automatic Digital Subject
Program Selection recognizes the warmth of the setting sun in a landscape photo-
graph and activates this mode.
NIGHT PORTRAIT - the flash and ambient exposures are balanced to reveal the
subject and background in low light. Ask your subject not to move after the flash
burst; the shutter may still be open for the background exposure. To take pictures
of landscapes at night, set the flash mode to flash cancel (p. 32). Because the
flash does not fire, exposures can be long. The use of a tripod is recommended.
Available in the multi-function recording mode.
