[Question] About the SCENE modes.

Scene modes allow you to shoot movies, record skew-corrected images, and take a picture with suitable options for a particular scene.

The scene mode options are as follows. The options that can be selected vary depending on the attached camera unit.

Symbol	Mode	Description
	Movie	Shoot movies with sound.
	Portrait	Use when taking portrait pictures.
	Sports	Use when taking pictures of moving objects.
	Landscape	Use when taking scenery pictures with abundant greenery or blue sky.
	Nightscape	Use when shooting night scenes. In nightscape mode, the flash fires when all the following conditions are satisfied: • The flash is set to [Auto]. • The flash is determined to be necessary because it is dark. • There is a figure or another object nearby.
	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 [N1280] or [N640] for [Picture Quality/Size].

The procedures for selecting a Scene mode are shown below.
