• Auto Macro (pages 76, 78)
Auto Macro automatically switches to the macro mode
when the distance between the camera and subject it
shorter than the Auto Focus range.
• Quick Shutter (page 76)
When you press the shutter button all the way down
without pausing, the camera immediately records the
image without waiting for Auto Focus to be performed.
This helps to avoid missing a special moment while you
wait for the camera to Auto Focus.
• Auto Focus Area Selection (page 77)
When “
 Multi” is selected for the Auto Focus area, the
camera takes simultaneous meter readings at nine
different points and automatically selects the best one.
• Three continuous shutter modes (page 87)
In addition to normal-speed continuous shutter, you can
also select high-speed continuous shutter or flash
continuous shutter.
• BEST SHOT (page 89)
Simply select one of a collection of built-in sample scenes
and the camera sets up for the scene you selected. It’s
the simple way to set up for beautiful snapshots quickly
and easily. New BEST SHOT sample scenes include
setups for High Sensitivity and Anti Shake. A [BS] (BEST
SHOT) button provides direct access to BEST SHOT
sample scenes.• Business Shot (page 97)
Business Shot automatically corrects rectangular shapes
when recording the image of a business card, document,
whiteboard, or similar subjects from an angle.
• Restoring an Old Photograph (page 99)
You can use the procedure in this section to restore an
old, faded photograph with the color provided by modern
digital camera technology.
• Movie recording with audio (page 102)
VGA size, 30 fps, Motion JPEG format
• Audio Snapshot mode (page 106)
Use this mode to record snapshots that also include
audio.
• Voice Recording (page 107)
Quick and easy recording of voice input.
• Real-time RGB histogram (page 109)
An on-screen histogram lets you adjust exposure as you
view the effect on overall image brightness, which makes
shooting under difficult lighting conditions easier than
ever before.
• Keystone Correction (page 130)
A simple operation corrects for keystoning, which occurs
when you record the image of a blackboard or poster from
an angle.
