To get the best photos, the way you like it, take your pick – the camera offers you
three different shooting modes:
• If you prefer to let the camera decide what the best settings are, use Automatic
mode. All you need to do is to point and shoot.
• Scenes mode offers you some ready-made scenes for various situations.
Example: Landscape mode: to get distant scenery in focus. Snow mode: for very
white environments. Spotlight mode: at concerts where the performer is under
spotlights, in front of a dark background.
• Creative mode lets you define the camera settings yourself and save the different
settings profiles for easy use later on.
