2 Taking Pictures in Scene Mode
Scene Mode Options
You can use scene mode to select from among
five still image modes and movie, and shoot with
settings automatically optimized for shooting
conditions.
High Sens
Use when taking pictures in dimly lit places. The picture display also
becomes brighter.
Firefighting
Use to capture images under difficult conditions such as the scene
of a fire. The focal length is fixed to 2.5 m, allowing you to take clear
pictures in a situation where the auto focus would normally produce
blurred images due to flames, smoke and water vapor. Increasing the
ISO sensitivity extends the range of the flash, and prevents camera
shake by controlling the shutter speed even when the flash is not
used. The sharpness level is also increased in this mode and the
picture display becomes brighter and is suited for firefighting.
Skew Correct
Mode
Reduce the effects
of perspective when
photographing
rectangular objects, such
as message boards or
business cards.
