Picture-Taking Modes

Use this mode

For:

Auto

General picture-taking. Automatically sets exposure, focus, and flash.

Sport

Subjects that are in motion. Shutter speed is fast.

Portrait

Full-frame portraits of people. Allows the subject to be sharp and the background to be indistinct. For best results, fill the frame with a head-and-shoulders pose. Use the Telephoto (T) zoom button to exaggerate background blur.

Night

Night scenes or low-light conditions. For shutter speeds slower than 1/60 second, place the camera on a flat, steady surface or use a tripod. Due to slow shutter speeds, advise people to stay still for a few seconds after the flash fires.

Landscape

Distant subjects. Flash does not fire unless you turn it on. Auto focus framing marks (see Using the Auto Focus Framing Marks) are not available in Landscape.

Close-up

Close subjects 4-24 in. (10-60 cm) from the lens in Wide Angle; 9.8-33.5 in. (25-85 cm) in Telephoto. Use available light instead of flash if possible. Use the camera screen to frame the subject.

PAS

Ultimate creative control. Choose from Program, Aperture priority, or Shutter priority. See PAS Mode and Selecting Modes and Settings in PAS Mode for a full discussion of PAS mode.

Video

Capture video with sound. See Taking Videos.
