(Intelligent Auto): Allows you to shoot with automatic scene recognition. (Superior Auto): Allows you to shoot with automatic scene recognition. This mode takes clear images of dark or backlit scenes.
1. Set the mode dial to P (Program Auto). 2. Set the shooting functions to your desired settings. 3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject. Program Shift You can change the shutter speed and aperture (F-value) combination by rotating the control dial, without changing the appropriate exposure that is set by this product.

When [Wide] is selected for [Panorama: Size], the entire angle of the panoramic shot may not be achieved within the given time.
Moving subjects. Subjects that are too close to the product. Subjects with continuously similar patterns, such as the sky, beach, or a lawn. Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls. Subjects with brightness widely different from its surroundings such as the sun or a light bulb. The Sweep Panorama shooting may be interrupted in the following situations. When the camera is panned too fast or too slow. The subject is too blurry.
Landscape: Shoots the entire range of a scenery in sharp focus with vivid colors. Sunset: Shoots the red of the sunset beautifully. Night Scene: Shoots night scenes without losing the dark atmosphere. Hand-held Twilight: Shoots night scenes with less noise and blur without using a tripod. A burst of shots are taken, and image processing is applied to reduce subject blur, camera-shake, and noise. Night Portrait: Shoots night scene portraits using the flash.
and noise. Note Under the following settings, the shutter speed is slower, so use of a tripod is recommended to prevent the image from blurring: [Night Scene] [Night Portrait] In the [Hand-held Twilight] or [Anti Motion Blur] mode, the shutter clicks 4 times and an image is recorded. If you select [Hand-held Twilight] or [Anti Motion Blur] with [RAW] or [RAW & JPEG], the image quality becomes [Fine] temporarily.
3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject. The aperture is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure. Note If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the aperture value on the shooting screen blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is recommended. Use a tripod to prevent blurring when you use a slow shutter speed. When the shutter speed is 1 second(s) or longer, noise reduction will be done after shooting for the same amount of time that the shutter was open.
Hint Smaller F-value (opening the aperture) narrows the range that is in focus. This allows you to put the subject in sharp focus and blur objects in front of and beyond the subject (depth of field becomes shallower). Larger F-value (narrowing down the aperture) widens the range that is in focus. This allows you to shoot the depth of the scenery (depth of field becomes deeper).
[41] How to Use Shooting Selecting a shooting mode BULB You can shoot a trailing image of the movement of a subject with long exposure. BULB is suitable for shooting trails of light, such as fireworks. 1. Set the mode dial to M (Manual Exposure). 2. Turn the control dial clockwise until [BULB] is indicated. 3.
