Easy to use automatic mode selecting the
optimal exposure and focus for general
photography. In Full auto, special functions
and controls such as Flash intensity
control or drive modes cannot be set by
the user. This is the simplest of all
shooting modes.
Portrait shooting
Suitable for shooting a portrait-style image of a person. This mode features an
in-focus subject against a blurred background. The camera automatically sets
the optimal shooting settings.
Night-Scene shooting
Suitable for shooting pictures of outdoor scenes in the evening or at night. For
example, if you take a picture of a street at night in other modes, the lack of
brightness will result in a dark picture with only the sparkle of lights such as
street lamps appearing. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true
appearance of the street can be captured. The camera automatically selects
the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition. Since the shutter speed
is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera by using a tripod.
