Recording

When taking pictures of people outdoors during the daytime, this mode enables the texture of 
their skin to appear even softer than with Portrait Mode.
(It is effective when taking pictures of people from the chest up.)

∫

To make this mode more effective:
1 Rotate the zoom lever as far as possible to Tele.
2 Move close to the subject to make this mode more effective.

•

If a part of the background etc. is a colour similar to skin colour, this part is also smoothed.

•

This mode may not be effective when there is insufficient brightness.

Setting for when you want to take pictures of sports scenes or other fast-moving events.

•

This mode is suitable for taking pictures of subjects at distances of 5 m (16 feet) or more.

This allows you to take pictures of a person and the background with near real-life brightness.

•

Ask the subject not to move while taking a picture.

•

We recommend using a tripod and the Self-timer for taking pictures.

•

Shutter speed may slow down up to 1/4 seconds.

•

Noise may become visible when you take pictures in dark places.
