Selecting a Shooting Mode
You can take an optimal picture simply by selecting the appropriate shooting mode.

Manual

Lets you adjust the exposure, white balance, photo effect and other settings yourself.

|
|
Digital Macro
|
You can approach as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.) (minimum focusing distance) to a subject to shoot. Since this mode trims all but the image center and magnifies it with the digital zoom, you can make a subject appear even larger than in the normal macro mode.

Portrait
|
Produces a soft effect when photographing people.
|
|
|
Night Snapshot
|
Use this to take snapshots of people against twilight or night backgrounds to reduce the effects of camera shake even without using a tripod.
