CX6 : About the Scene modes. / Support / Digital Camera　| Ricoh Global

Scene mode allows you to select from 13 types of still images modes, and shoot with settings automatically optimized for the shooting conditions.

Scene Modes

Symbol	Mode	Description
	Portrait	Use when taking portrait pictures. The camera automatically detects up to 8 faces, and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance. The faces detected by the camera are shown by square borders. The camera may not be able to recognized faces in the following cases: • When the face is side-view, tilted, or moving • When the camera is tilted or upside down (the shutter release button is facing down) • When the face is partially hidden or at the edge of the frame • When the face is not clearly visible because of dark surroundings • When the subject is too far away (Make sure that the face appearing in the picture display is vertically longer than 1 block marked by the 3 x 3 grid guide.)
	Landscape	Use when taking scenery pictures with abundant greenery or blue sky.
	Discreet Mode	Regardless of configured settings on Flash, AF auxiliary light, and Operation sounds, the camera will take a picture with these settings disabled. This will be a good option in the situation where you would like to take a picture without flash or operation sound.
	Night. Port.	Use when taking portrait pictures against a nightscape. The flash fires automatically. The shutter speed slows down, so be careful of camera shake.
	Night Landscape Multi-shot	Use for night scenes. Blur caused by camera shake is reduced even in handheld shots. 4 shots are taken in succession and combined to create a single image, increasing the time needed to record photographs in comparison to other modes.
	Fireworks	This mode will be useful for fireworks scenes. This mode fixes to the following settings; Focus > ∞ (infinity), ISO 100, White balance > AUTO. Pressing the Fn button switches the exposure time from [2 seconds], [4 seconds] (default), and [8 seconds]. When shooting in this mode, hold the camera steady by using a tripod.
	Cooking	This mode will be useful when taking a picture of food or cooking. Macro mode is automatically selected. Pressing the Fn button displays the screen for cooking picture settings. Push the ADJ./OK button up or down to adjust the brightness, and right or left to adjust the color.
	Sports	Use when taking pictures of moving object.
	Pets	Use to take a picture of cats and other pets. The flash, AF auxiliary light, and operation sounds turn off, regardless of configured settings on them.
	Golf Swing Continuous Mode	It will be useful for checking golf swing. This mode takes multiple frames using M-Cont Plus (2M) feature. Pressing the Fn button displays the screen for grid line settings. Push the ADJ./OK button up or down to change the grid position. Press the delete button to change the grid type.

	Zoom Macro	Automatically optimizes the zoom position to shoot the subject larger than with normal macro shooting. The optical zoom cannot be used in this mode.
	Skew Correct Mode	Use to straighten a rectangular object, such as a message board or business card, that has been shot at an angle. This mode makes it look as if the picture has been shot squarely. In Skew correction mode, choose from [ 4:3F] or [ 4:3F] for [Picture Quality/Size].
	Text Mode	Use when capturing text images, for example notes written on a white board at a meeting. Images are captured in black and white. You can also change the shading of text, and set the image size to either [ 4:3] or [ 4:3] for [Picture Quality/Size].

Focal length (35 mm filmcamera equivalent)	Minimum shooting distance (from the front of the lens)	Shooting range
70 mm	Approx. 1 cm	Approx. 19 x 14 mm (Not used Super Resolution zoom / digital zoom)
140 mm	Approx. 1 cm	Approx. 9 x 7 mm (Not used Super Resolution zoom / digital zoom)
