 (Portrait)

Blurs away backgrounds and sharpens 
the subject. Expresses skin tones softly.
• To blur the background more, set the 

lens to the telephoto position.

• You can shoot a vivid image by 

focusing on the eye that is closer to the lens. 

• Use the lens hood (sold separately) to shoot backlit 

subjects.

• Use the red-eye reduction function if the eyes of your 

subject turn red from the flash (page 98).

 (Sports Action)

Shoots a moving subject at a fast 
shutter speed so that the subject looks 
as if it is standing still. The camera 
shoots images continuously while the 
shutter button is pressed.
• Press and hold the shutter button halfway down until the 

right moment.

 (Macro)

Shoots close subjects such as flowers, 
foods.
• You can shoot a closer subject using 

a macro lens (sold separately).

• Set the flash mode to [Flash Off] 

when you shoot a subject within 1 m (3.3 feet).

• When shooting in macro mode, the SteadyShot function 

will not be fully effective. Use a tripod to achieve better 
results.

• The shortest focal distance does not change.

 (Landscape)

Shoots the entire range of scenery in 
sharp focus with vivid colors.
• To accentuate the openness of the 

scenery, set the lens to wide angle.

 (Sunset)

Shoots the red of the sunrise or sunset 
beautifully.

 (Night View)

Shoots night scenes at a distance 
without losing the dark atmosphere of 
the surroundings.
• The shutter speed is slower, so using 

a tripod is recommended.

• The picture may not be taken properly when shooting a 

wholly dark night scene.
