Shooting according to scene conditions 
 Scene Selection
When shooting night scenes, shooting 
people at night, shooting landscapes, or 
shooting portraits, use the modes listed 
below to increase the quality of your 
images.
 Twilight mode
Under dark lighting conditions, you can 
shoot a distant night view. However, 
because the shutter speed is slower under 
these conditions, we recommend you use a 
tripod.
You cannot use the following functions in 
Twilight mode:
Macro mode shooting
Shooting with the flash
Exposure Bracket
Burst mode shooting
Multi Burst mode shooting
 Twilight portrait mode
Use this mode when shooting people in the 
foreground at night. This mode allows you 
to shoot images of people in the foreground 
with distinct outlines without losing the 
feeling that you are shooting at night.
Because the shutter speed is slow, it is 
recommended that you use a tripod.
The flash is set to 
 (Slow synchro).
You cannot shoot in Exposure Bracket, Burst, 
or Multi Burst mode.
 Landscape mode
Focuses on images far away, so is 
convenient for shooting landscapes at a 
distance.
You cannot shoot in macro mode.
The flash is set to   (Forced flash) or 
 (No 
flash).
Portrait mode
Backgrounds blur away, and the subject is 
sharpened.
 Twilight mode
 Twilight portrait mode
 Landscape mode
Portrait mode
