time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface. When Night scene is selected, focus
mode is changed to Infinity.

exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.
Beach and snow

Flash

Auto
The camera automatically determines if the lighting conditions require the use of a flash.
Fill flash
Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This removes unwanted dark
shadows.
Off
The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting
conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the self-
timer to avoid blurred photos.
