Choosing a Scene and Shooting (Scene Mode Types and

The mode dial can be used to select scenes when shooting (A 61).
See "Shooting in the Scene Mode Selected by the Camera (Scene Auto Selector)"
(A 62) for more information on scene auto selector.
X is used in the following scene descriptions to indicate the flash mode (A 32)
setting when the flash is raised. n indicates the self-timer (A 35), p indicates
macro mode (A 39), and o indicates exposure compensation (A 40) settings.
j Night landscape
Captures the atmosphere of night landscapes.
Press the d button to set Night landscape to Hand-held or Tripod.
• Hand-held (default setting): Select this option to produce shots with reduced blurring
and noise even when the camera is hand-held.
- The Y icon is displayed in the shooting screen.
- When the j icon at the top left of the monitor lights in green, press the shutter-
release button all the way to capture a series of images which will be combined into a
single image and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without
moving it until a still image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera
off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image will be
narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.
• Tripod: Select this option when using a tripod or other means to stabilize the camera
during shooting.
- The Z icon is displayed in the shooting screen.
- Vibration reduction (A 175) is automatically set to Off regardless of the setting in
the setup menu (A 167).
- One image is captured at a slow shutter speed when the shutter-release button is
pressed all the way.
• Digital zoom is not available.
• Camera focuses at infinity. The focus area always glows green when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. Note, however, that objects in the foreground may not always
be in focus.
• AF-assist illuminator (A 178) does not light.
