Selecting A Shooting Mode According To The Situation - Olympus D-555 ZOOM Advanced Manual

Selecting a shooting mode according to the situation

You can take pictures with the optimum settings by selecting mode menu
according to the shooting conditions or purpose.
(Shooting mode
P Program Auto
Suitable for general situations. The camera automatically uses settings that captures
the scene in its natural colors. You can set other functions such as exposure
compensation as desired.
I Portrait
3
Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. This mode is optimum for
reproducing silky skin tones.
K Landscape+Portrait
Suitable for taking pictures of both your subject and the landscape. The picture is
taken with the background as well as the subject in the foreground in focus. You can
take pictures of your subject against a beautiful sky or landscape.
L Landscape
Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. Both the
foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are vividly
reproduced in this mode, it is excellent for shooting natural scenery.
m Night Scene
Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower
shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of
a street at night in P mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with
only dots of light. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the
street is captured. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure that you stabilize the
camera by using a tripod.
o Self Portrait
Lets you take pictures of yourself while holding the camera. As the camera is set to
focus on a subject that is close, the zoom is locked to wide-angle, and cannot be
changed.
N Movie
Records movies. As the focus and zoom are locked while recording, be sure to keep
the distance between the camera and subject constant to avoid losing focus. Sound
is recorded with the movie.
