Shooting Still Images (Scene Selection) - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1 Handbook

Shooting still images (Scene selection)

The following modes are predetermined to match the scene conditions.
* The shutter speed becomes slower, so using a tripod is recommended.
3 2
High Sensitivity
Allows you to shoot images
without a flash under low light
conditions, reducing blur.
Hand-held Twilight
The camera performs multiple
continuous shootings while
compensating for camera-shake in
order to capture an image.
This function is useful when
shooting a nightscape without a
tripod.
• The camera may not be able to
fully compensate if the camera-
shake is too strong, the subject is
moving, or the image is too
dark.
Twilight *
Allows you to shoot night scenes
at far distance without losing the
dark atmosphere of the
surroundings.
Twilight Portrait*
Suitable for shooting portraits in
dark places. Allows you to shoot
sharp images of people in dark
places without losing the dark
atmosphere of the surroundings.
Soft Snap
Allows you to shoot skin colors in
brighter and warmer tones for
more beautiful pictures. In
addition, the soft focus effect
creates a gentle atmosphere for
portraits of people, flowers, etc.
Landscape
Focuses only on a distant subject
to shoot landscapes, etc.
Hi-Speed Shutter
Allows you to shoot moving
subjects outdoors or in other
bright places.
• The shutter speed becomes
faster, so images shot in dark
places become darker.
Beach
When shooting seaside or lakeside
scenes, the blue of the water is
clearly recorded.
Snow
When shooting snowy scenes or
other places where the whole
screen appears white, use this
mode to prevent sunken colors
and record clear images.
Fireworks*
Allows you to record fireworks in
all their splendor.
