Still camera settings

Capturing mode
Select the way you take a photo
Normal
Scene recognition
The camera determines which scene is most suitable. A scene icon and text appears when the scene is
recognized
Smile detection
Capture a face just as it smiles. The camera detects up to five faces and selects one face for smile
detection and auto focus. When the selected face smiles, the camera automatically takes a photo.
Scenes
Use the Scenes feature to quickly set up the camera for common situations using pre-programmed scenes.
The camera determines a number of settings for you to fit the selected scene, ensuring the best possible photo
Off
The camera automatically adjusts settings for a photo

Use for portrait photos. Settings are optimized to give slightly softer skin tones
Landscape
Use for landscape photos. The camera focuses on distant objects. When Landscape is selected, focus
mode is changed to Infinity
Night scene
Use when taking photos at night or in poorly lit environments (without the flash). Due to long exposure
time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface. When Night scene is selected, focus
mode is changed to Infinity
Night portrait
Use for portrait photos at night or in poorly lit environments (with or without the flash). Due to long exposure
time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface
Beach and snow
Use in bright environments to avoid underexposed photos
Sports

Party

candlelight. Due to long exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface
Document
Use for photos of text or drawings. Gives the photo increased, sharper contrast. When Document is
selected, focus mode is changed to Macro
Flash
Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a backlight
Auto
