* 12 versatile Scene Modes. The camera will optimize settings for nearly
any shooting setting. From portraits to brilliant sunsets, you will be
able to capture great images at the click of the shutter.
- Portrait: Your subject comes out sharply focused with natural skin
tones, against a soft, pleasant background.
- Night Portrait: Fires the built-in Speedlight to illuminate the subject
and keeps the shutter open long enough to capture the background.
- Landscape: Emphasizing depth-of-field, this mode captures distant
scenes sharply and clearly, for postcard-like landscape pictures.
- Night Landscape: Produces stunning night landscapes by employing slow
shutter speeds.
- Close Up: Takes up-close pictures with an artistically blurred
background.
- Back Light: Automatically fires the Speedlight to illuminate the
shadows that cover a subject.

situations, the Speedlight fires automatically.

fields, beaches, or sunlit expanses of water.
- Sunset: Exposure is automatically controlled, enabling you to preserve
the exquisite, natural beauty of a sunset.
- Fireworks Show: With short shutter-release time lag, slow shutter
speed, focus set at infinity, and other specific settings, you can
capture fireworks in all their original beauty.
- Copy: Renders clear black and white reproductions of text or drawings
from a whiteboard or printed matter.
- Museum: Produces sharp, clear indoor pictures without triggering the
flash.
