Shooting Features
dSports
Use this mode when shooting sporting events. The camera
captures a series of still images that allow you to clearly see
detailed movements in a moving subject.
• The camera focuses at the center area of the frame.
• To capture a series of images, hold down the shutter-
release button all the way. Up to 90 pictures are shot at a
rate of about 1.2 frames per second (fps) (when image quality is set to Normal and
image size is set to M3648×2736).
• The camera focuses the subject even when the shutter-release button is not pressed
halfway. You may hear the sound of the camera focusing.
• Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first shot in each
series.
• The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image
quality setting, image size setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
e Night portrait
Use this mode for portraits taken at sunset or at night.
• The camera detects and focuses on a face (see “Using Face
Detection” (A85) for more information).
• After the skin softening feature makes facial skin tones
softer, the camera records the image (A86).
• If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject
at the center of the frame.
• Shoot pictures with the flash raised.
• The digital zoom is not available.
f Party/indoor
Suitable for taking pictures in parties. Captures the effects of
candlelight and other indoor background lighting.
• The camera focuses at the center area of the frame.
• When shooting in a dark location, hold the camera steadily

the camera attached to a tripod, set Vibration reduction
in the setup menu (A104) to Off.

expanses of water.
