Sony MVC-FD73 Operating Guide

You can select one of five PROGRAM AE (Auto Exposure) modes to
suit your shooting situation, referring to the following.

 Soft Portrait mode

Creates a soft background for subjects such as people or flowers,
and faithfully reproduces skin color.

 Sports Lesson mode

For recording fast-moving subjects such as in tennis or golf
games.

 Beach & Ski mode

For people or faces in strong light or reflected light, such as at a
beach in midsummer or on a ski slope.

 Sunset & Moon mode

For recording subjects in dark environments such as sunsets,
fireworks, neon signs, or general night views.

For distant subjects such as mountains or when recording a
subject behind an obstacle such as a window or screen.

For recording close or distant subjects quickly and simply. Or,
for recording with flash in a dark place  where it is hard to bring
the camera into focus.

Press PROGRAM AE repeatedly until the indicator on the LCD
screen goes out.

• You cannot take close-ups in Sports Lesson and Beach & Ski modes.
• You can focus only on distance subjects in Sunset & Moon and Landscape

modes.

• In Panfocus mode, the zoom position and focus are fixed.
