Choosing A Recording Program - Canon Vistura Instruction Manual

Choosing a Recording Program

The camera provides you with a choice of five recording programs. They use different combinations of
E
camera settings in order to adjust the exposure and other functions to match the recording situation.
Rotate the program selector to choose the appropriate program before you start recording.
• For normal shooting conditions, you can leave the recording program selector set to n (Auto
Recording). For different recording conditions, rotate the selector to the appropriate program before you
start recording. Reset to n for standard conditions.
Auto Recording
The simplest way to use the camera is with the
program selector set to the n position. The camera
will adjust the focus and exposure automatically,
leaving you free to point and shoot.
• You can only use the backlight compensation
(BLC) button in this mode.
Specialised AE programs
Sports
This program is useful for recording high-speed
sports scenes in brightly lit conditions. Normal
playback will be slightly jerky, but you will get
clear images which can be analysed frame by frame
during slow or still playback on a VCR.
Portrait
Use this program outdoors to make the subject
stand out from a softened foreground and
background. It works well for still-lifes and close-
ups. The effect is most noticeable when the zoom
position is between the middle range and the
telephoto end. Focus manually for maximum
accuracy.
