and Shooting Modes

Always use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

Portrait Mode

• To best achieve the effect of the background gradually fading, compose the image so that the upper half of the subject's body fills most of the viewfinder or LCD monitor.
• The background gets increasingly indistinct the more you adjust the focal length toward telephoto.

Landscape Mode

• The icon (camera shake warning) may appear on the LCD monitor since slower shutter speeds are frequently used in this mode. If this happens, affix the camera to a tripod.

Night Scene Mode

• The shutter speed slows down. Even if you use the flash, tell your subjects not to move for a few moments.
• Using the mode in daylight will produce an effect similar to that of the mode.
