28 Shooting Mode Advanced Anti Blur When n is displayed, the camera will take a series of exposures and combine them to form a single image, reducing “noise” (mottling) and blur. a n is available when ON is selected in the shooting menu ( P 86) and the flash ( P 37) is off or set to auto. c • Some time may be required to combine the expo- sures into a single image. A single combined image may not be created if the subject or camera moves during shooting. Keep the camera steady during shooting and do not move the camera until shoot- ing is complete. • Frame coverage is reduced. The EXR Icon When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the camera chooses the preferred E mode: • S ( RESOLUTION PRIORITY ): Produces crisp, clear shots. • T ( HIGH ISO & LOW NOISE ): Reduces noise in pic- tures taken at high sensitivities. • U ( D-RANGE PRIORITY ): Increases the amount of detail visible in highlights. ■■ EE Priority Priority Selec t this mode to manually choose from the fol- lowing E modes: • S ( RESOLUTION PRIORITY ): Choose for crisp, clear shots. • T ( HIGH ISO & LOW NOISE ): Reduce noise in pic- tures taken at high sensitivities. • U ( D-RANGE PRIORITY ): Increase the amount of detail visible in highlights. U DYNAMIC RANGE ( P 85) can be set to M (1600%) and D (800%). B B AUTO AUTO Choose for crisp, clear snapshots. This mode is recommended in most situa- tions. Adv. Adv.

29 More on Photography Shooting Mode ■ ■ rr MOTION PANORAMA 360 MOTION PANORAMA 360 Follow an on-screen guide to take photos that will automatically be joined to form a panorama. 1 Rotate the zoom ring until the zoom indicator turns white ( P 18). 2 To select the angle through which you will pan the camera while shooting, press the selector down. Press the selector left or right to high- light an angle and press MENU/OK. 3 Press the selector right to view a choice of pan directions. Press the selector left or right to highlight a pan direction and press MENU/OK. 4 Press the shutter button all the way down to start recording. There is no need to keep the shutter button pressed during recording. 5 Pan the camera in the di-rection shown by the arrow. Shooting ends automati- cally when the progress bar is full and the panorama is complete. a Shooting ends if the shutter button is pressed all the way down during shooting. No panorama will be re- corded if the shutter button is pressed before the cam- era has been panned through 120 °. c • Panoramas are created from multiple frames. The camera may in some cases record a greater or lesser angle than selected or be unable to stitch the frames together perfectly. The last part of the panorama may not be recorded if shooting ends before the panorama is complete. • Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned too quickly or too slowly. Panning the camera in a direction other than that shown cancels shooting. • The desired results may not be achieved with mov- ing subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects that are in constant motion, such as waves and wa- terfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit. 120 Progress bar
30 Shooting Mode z Choose z for seamless 360 ° panoramas that can be played back in a loop ( P 65). a The t SAVE ORG IMAGE option in the setup menu can be used to record a v panorama in addition to a seamless z panorama ( P 105). c Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, the camera may produce distorted results or a v panorama. The top and bottom of the area visible in the shooting display are cropped out and white strips may appear at the top and bottom of the display. For Best Results For best results, move the camera in a small circle at a steady speed, keeping the camera horizontal and being careful only to pan in the direction shown by the guides. If the desired results are not achieved, try panning at a different speed. ■ ■ ii PRO FOCUS PRO FOCUS The camera takes up to three shots each time the shutter button is pressed, softening the background to emphasize the main subject. The amount of softening can be adjusted before shooting by rotating the command dial. Use for portraits or photos of flowers similar to those produced by SLR cameras. a Softening can not be applied to background objects that are too close to the main subject. If a message stating that the camera can not create the effect is displayed when the camera focuses, try backing away from your subject and zooming in. The camera may also be unable to soften the background if the subject is moving; if prompted, check the results and try again.

Use to reduce noise and blur when photographing poorly lit subjects or static subjects at high zoom ratios. a • A single combined photograph may not be created with some scenes or if the subject or camera moves during shooting. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete. • The camera may make fewer than four exposures in some situations.

33 More on Photography Shooting Mode l DOG/ m CAT The camera focuses on the faces of dogs or cats that are facing the camera, and the self-timer menu offers a n AUTO RELEASE option that releases the shutter automatically when a pet is detected ( P 39). During play- back, image search ( P 62) can be used to search for pictures taken in either mode. 1 Although camera can detect many different breeds of dogs and cats, results may vary with the breed and shoot- ing conditions. The camera may fail to detect pets with dark-colored faces or long hair covering their entire face. If a dog or cat is not detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.

36 F Macro and Super Macro Modes (Close-ups) For close-ups, press the selector left (F) to choose from the macro options shown below. OFF OFF Choose from F (macro mode), G (super macro mode), or OFF (macro mode off) When macro mode is in effect, the camera focuses on subjects near the center of the frame. Use the zoom ring to compose pictures. The following restrictions apply in super macro mode: the lens must be zoomed all the way out (at other zoom positions, z is displayed) and the flash can not be used. a • Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur caused by camera shake. • Flash compensation may be required when using the flash ( P 88). • Using the flash at close range may cast a lens shadow. Zoom a little or have more distance from the subject. • The camera can focus at short range when macro mode is not set, but the time needed to focus increases. • Rotate the zoom ring until the zoom indicator turns white when using G ( P 18). Focus Range (distance from front of lens) • Macro : approx. 7 cm–3 m/0.2 ft.–9.8 ft. (wide angle); 2 m–3.5 m/6.5 ft.–11.4 ft. (telephoto) • Super macro: approx. 1 cm–1 m/0.3 in.–3.2 ft. (wide angle)
