Tips and Notes About Scene Mode
o Scene auto selector
• The camera automatically recognizes the shooting conditions when you frame a
picture, making it easier to take pictures in accordance with those conditions.
• When the camera automatically recognizes the shooting conditions, the shooting
mode icon displayed on the shooting screen changes accordingly.
* One image is captured at a slow shutter speed.
• Under some shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired settings. In
this case, select another shooting mode (A28).
• When the digital zoom is in effect, the shooting mode icon changes to d.
j Night landscape
• Press the d button to select Y Hand-held or Z Tripod in Night landscape.
• Y Hand-held (default setting):
-While the j icon on the shooting screen is displayed in green, press the shutter-
release button all the way to capture a series of images which are combined into a
single image and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a
still image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the
screen switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is
narrower than that seen on the shooting screen.
• Z Tripod:
- One image is captured at a slow shutter speed when the shutter-release button is
pressed all the way.
- Vibration reduction is disabled even when Photo VR (A135) in the setup menu is
set to On.
