Menu item details
Portrait: - Blurs background and sharpens the subject. Accentuates the skin tones softly.
Sports Action: - Shoots a moving subject at a fast shutter speed so that the subject looks as if it is standing still. The product shoots images continuously while the shutter button is pressed.
Macro: - Shoots close-ups of the subjects, such as flowers, insects, food, or small items.
Landscape: - Shoots the entire range of a scenery in sharp focus with vivid colors.
Sunset: - Shoots the red of the sunset beautifully.
Night Scene: - Shoots night scenes without losing the dark atmosphere.
Hand-held Twilight: - Shoots night scenes with less noise and blur without using a tripod. A burst of shots are taken, and image processing is applied to reduce subject blur, camera-shake, and noise.
Night Portrait: - Shoots night scene portraits using the flash.
Note
- In the [Night Scene] and [Night Portrait] modes, the shutter speed is slower, so use of a tripod is recommended to prevent the image from blurring.
- In the [Hand-held Twilight] mode, the shutter clicks 4 times and an image is recorded.
- If you select [Hand-held Twilight] with [RAW] or [RAW & JPEG], the image quality becomes [Fine] temporarily.
-
Reducing blur is less effective even in [Hand-held Twilight] when shooting the following subjects:
- Subjects with erratic movement.
- Subjects that are too close to the product.
- Subjects with continuously similar patterns, such as the sky, a beach, or a lawn.
- Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls.
- In the case of [Hand-held Twilight], block noise may occur when using a light source that flickers, such as fluorescent lighting.
- The minimum distance that you can come close to a subject does not change even if you select [Macro]. For the minimum in-focus range, refer to the minimum distance of the lens attached to the product.
Hint
- To change the scene, rotate the front dial on the shooting screen and select a new scene.
