Still camera settings overview
Scene recognition
Normal
Sweep Panorama
Use this setting to take wide-angle, panoramic photos. Just tap the screen and move the camera
steadily from one side to the other.
Scenes
Use the Scenes feature to quickly set up the camera for common situations using
pre-programmed scenes. The camera determines a number of settings for you to fit
the selected scene, ensuring the best possible photo.
Landscape
Use for landscape photos. The camera focuses on distant objects.
Night scene
Use when taking photos at night or in poorly lit environments (without the light or flash). Due to long
exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.
Night portrait

long exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.
Beach and snow
Use in bright environments to avoid underexposed photos.
Sports
Use for photos of fast-moving objects. Short exposure time minimises motion blurring.
Party
Use for indoor photos in poorly lit environments. This scene picks up indoor background lighting or
candlelight. Due to long exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.
Document
Use for photos of text or drawings. Gives the photo increased, sharper contrast.
This setting is only available in Normal capturing mode.
Resolution
Choose between several picture sizes and aspect ratios before taking a photo. A
photo with a higher resolution requires more memory.
