Selecting The Scene Mode - Epson PhotoPC L-500V Reference Manual

Selecting the Scene Mode

In addition to the normal mode for taking pictures, special scene modes are pre-programmed in
the camera to give you the best image capture settings for portraits, landscapes, and night shots:
Landscape mode
This mode is best for capturing landscapes more clearly. The flash is turned off automatically,
but you can turn it on if necessary. In low light, the shutter speed is slower so you can take
scenes at dusk. For best results, use a tripod with this scene mode.
Portrait mode
The depth of field is reduced to 3 to 10 feet (1 to 3 m). When you use the fill-in flash in dark
settings, the slow synchro shutter feature is enabled, allowing you to take shots with a brighter
background. For best results, use a tripod with this scene mode.
Normal mode
This mode is best for most shooting. The flash works automatically based on the available
light on the subject. The shutter speed is also selected to minimize blurring.
Night View mode
This mode is best for shooting night scenes. The flash is turned off automatically, but you can
turn it on if necessary. For best results, use a tripod with this scene mode.
Night Portrait mode
This mode is best for shooting portraits in the dark. The flash is set to Slow Synchro
automatically, but you can change the setting if necessary. For best results, use a tripod with
this scene mode.
