the subject. Expresses skin tones softly.
• To blur the background more, set the
lens to the telephoto position.
• You can shoot a vivid image by
focusing on the eye that is closer to the lens.
• Use the lens hood to shoot backlit subjects.
• Use the red-eye reduction function if the eyes of your
subject turn red from the flash (page 101).

shutter speed so that the subject looks
as if it is standing still. The camera
shoots images continuously while the
shutter button is pressed.
• Press and hold the shutter button halfway down until the
right moment.
Shoots close subjects such as flowers,
foods.
• You can shoot a closer subject using
a macro lens (sold separately).
• Set the flash mode to [Flash Off]
when you shoot a subject within 1 m (3.3 feet).
• When shooting in macro mode, the SteadyShot function
will not be fully effective. Use a tripod to achieve better
results.
• The shortest focal distance does not change.
Shoots the entire range of scenery in
sharp focus with vivid colors.
• To accentuate the openness of the
scenery, set the lens to wide angle.
Shoots the red of the sunrise or sunset
beautifully.
Shoots night scenes at a distance
without losing the dark atmosphere of
the surroundings.
• The shutter speed is slower, so using
a tripod is recommended.
• The picture may not be taken properly when shooting a
wholly dark night scene.
