Close subjects 2–39 in. (5–100 cm) from the lens in Wide Angle; 12–39 in. (30–100 cm) in Telephoto. Use available light instead of flash if possible. Use the camera screen to frame the subject.

Point-and-shoot simplicity when taking pictures under special conditions (see Scene modes (SCN)).

If you press the Review button while in Favorites mode, you can view the pictures and videos on your card or in your camera's internal memory. The lens is not extended, and you cannot take a picture.

Scene modes (SCN)

Use this mode	For
Night Landscape	Distant scenery at night.
Night Portrait	Reducing red-eye in pictures of people in night scenes or low-light conditions. 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 flash fires.
Sport	Subjects in motion. Fast shutter speed stops the action.
Landscape	Distant subjects. Flash does not fire unless you turn it on. Fixed focus is set to infinity.
Snow	Bright snow scenes. Exposure compensation is set to +1.0 EV to prevent a washed-out, overexposed image.
Beach	Bright beach scenes. Exposure compensation is set to +1.0 EV to prevent a washed-out, overexposed image.
Party	Indoor pictures of people. Prevents red eye.
Self- Portrait	Close-up of yourself. Assures proper focus and prevents red eye.
Manner/ Museum	Quiet occasions, like a wedding or lecture. Flash and sound are disabled.
Fireworks	Fireworks. Place the camera on a flat, steady surface or use a tripod.
