Available Shooting Modes

A
Auto mode
Used for general shooting. Settings can be adjusted in the shooting menu (A69) to suit
the shooting conditions and the type of shot you want to capture.
C
Scene
Camera settings are optimized according to the scene that you select. When using scene
auto selector (d), the camera automatically selects the optimum scene mode when you
frame a picture, making it even easier to take pictures using settings that suit the scene.

selection menu.
R
Special effects
Effects can be applied to images during shooting. 11 different effects are available.
• To select an effect, tap the icon of the desired effect in the shooting mode selection
menu.
F
Smart portrait
When the camera detects a smiling face, you can take a picture automatically without
pressing the shutter-release button (smile timer). You can also use the skin softening
option to smooth the skin tones of human faces.
