When the J mark appears on the LCD monitor, this indicates that camera shake
may occur. To prevent camera shake, try any of the following.
•Using the antiblur function (GP.63)
•Set the flash to [AUTO] or [FLASH ON]. (GP.39)
•Raising the ISO setting (GP.81)
•Using the self-timer (GP.45)

lit or backlit.
RED-EYE FLASH Reduces the red-eye phenomenon, in which people’s
eyes appear red in pictures.

Scene Modes
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For information on Shooting Setting menu items and function restrictions in scene
mode, see “Appendices”. (GP.240)
Shooting with Optimal Settings According
to Shooting Conditions
You can use scene mode to select from among five still image
modes and shoot with settings automatically optimized for
shooting conditions.
HIGH SENS
Use when taking pictures in dimly lit places. The LCD monitor also
becomes brighter.
FIREFIGHTING
Use to capture images under difficult conditions such as the scene of
a fire. The focal length is fixed to 2.5 m, allowing you to take clear
pictures in a situation where the auto focus would normally produce
blurred images due to flames, smoke and water vapor. Increasing the
ISO sensitivity extends the range of the flash, and prevents camera
shake by controlling the shutter speed even when the flash is not
used. The sharpness level is also increased in this mode and the
LCD monitor becomes brighter and is suited for firefighting.
SKEW COR MODE
Use to straighten a rectangular object, such as a message board or
business card, shot at an angle to make it look as if it were shot
squarely. For detailed operations, see P.42.
In skew correction mode, choose from [F1280], [N1280], and [N640]
for [PIC QUALITY/SIZE]. (GP.61)
TEXT MODE
Use when capturing text images, for example notes written on a
whiteboard at a meeting.
You can also change the shading of text. (GP.57)
You can set the image size to either 3264 × 2448 or 2048 × 1536
pixels. (GP.61)
ZOOM MACRO
Use when taking a further close-up picture during macro shooting.
Using the digital zoom allows you to take a larger close-up than with
normal macro shooting. For detailed operations, see P.43.
The optical zoom cannot be used in this mode.
You can shoot close-ups within the following distances.
When digital zoom is not used: About 5 mm from the very front of the
camera
(Shooting range: Approx. 27 mm × 20 mm)
When 4.0× digital zoom is used: About 5 mm from the very front of
the camera
(Shooting range: Approx. 6.8 mm × 5 mm)
