[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].
	Miniaturize	For capturing an image that appear to be a picture of dioramas. * simulated image
	Toy Camera	This mode takes a picture with high contrast, saturated colors associated with toy cameras. The created picture has effects of distortion, vignetting (captured with darkness in the four corners). Options for them are available in the Shooting menu; [Vignetting] is to choose the amount of vignetting, [Toy Color] is to choose the amount of saturation. Left : with Toy Camera, Right : normal image (* images are simulated)
	High Contrast B&W	For taking a higher contrast B&W picture than those in normal B&W mode. Produces grainy images similar to those taken with highly sensitive film or grain film developing. * simulated image
	Soft Focus	This mode produces an image with soft focus effects similar to those created by soft focus lenses. The amount of softening can be selected using the [Soft Focus Options] in the Shooting menu. Left : with Soft Focus, Right : normal image (* images are simulated)
	Cross Process	This mode takes a picture with colors that differ markedly from those of the actual subject. The colors can be selected using the [Hue] option in the Shooting menu. Left : with Cross Process, Right : normal image (* images are simulated)
	Electronic Shutter	This mode alows you to take pictures without worring about the shutter release sound or vibrations. Selectable shutter speed is between 1/8000 sec. and 1 sec.
