The digital-subject-program button (1) optimizes the
camera’s exposure, white-balance, and image-processing
systems for various conditions and subjects. Pressing the
subject-program button cycles through the modes: macro,
portrait, landscape, night portrait, text, macro & text, and
the original exposure mode. A pointer will indicate the
active subject program. The subject program will remain in
effect until it is changed or the mode dial is turned to
another position. Except for macro, digital subject
programs cannot be used in the multi-function recording
mode.
While subject programs optimize camera performance for
each shooting condition, some changes can be made to
camera settings. The flash mode (p. 30) can be changed and the exposure can be altered using the
exposure-compensation function (p. 50). In extreme lighting conditions, changes in exposure
compensation may not produce the intended results in the portrait, night portrait, or text modes. The
camera-shake warning (p. 31) may appear in macro, landscape, night portrait, or text modes.

AUTO-RECORDING MODE - BASIC OPERATION
DIGITAL-SUBJECT-PROGRAM BUTTON
MACRO - used for close-up photography between 16 and 60 cm (6 ~
24in.) from the CCD. When the macro mode is selected, the lens will
automatically zoom to the correct position. The zoom position cannot
be changed. The LCD monitor should be used to compose the
picture and will automatically activate if off. The viewfinder cannot be
used because of parallax. The flash is set to flash cancel (p. 30). Fill-
flash can be used, but can cause extreme overexposure and uneven
illumination.
This subject program can be used in the multi-function recording
mode. It will not reset if the position of the mode dial is changed.
