Chapter 2: Taking pictures and recording video clips 27
Changing capture modes
The Mode button on the top of the camera sets the
camera to one of three different capture modes. Each time you
press this button, the camera changes to the next capture
mode. The sequence for the different settings is: Self-Timer,
Action, Normal, and then repeat.
NOTE These settings do not have any effect on recording
video clips unless specifically noted otherwise.
Each time you change the capture mode, an icon representing
that capture mode appears on the Image Display. The
following table describes these different icons.
Icon Setting Description
Self-Timer Camera waits 10 seconds after the Video
button or Shutter button is pressed to take a
video clip or a picture. See Using self-timer
mode on page 28.
Action Camera biases toward faster shutter speeds
and higher ISO speeds to stop action.
None Normal Camera automatically selects aperture and
shutter speed. This is the default setting
when the camera is first turned on.
