Selecting a Shooting Mode

Following shooting modes can be selected.
A Auto mode
Pictures can be taken with an automatic, point-and-shoot mode recommended for
first-time users of digital cameras. Pictures can be taken with the flash mode or macro
mode settings. Other settings can be made, such as the continuous setting or the
"subject tracking" option, which moves the active focus area to track the registered
subject.
C Scene mode
Camera settings are automatically optimized for the selected scene.
In scene auto selector mode, the camera automatically selects the optimum scene
mode for simpler shooting.
F Smart portrait mode
The camera uses the face detection function to detect human faces, and automatically
releases the shutter when a smile is detected. The skin softening option can be used to
make skin tones of human faces displayed smoothly.
