Auto
E
In normal recording conditions, set the
POWER switch to
AUTO from the program menu. This is
the same as the Easy Recording
program, except that you now have the
option of using any of the camera's
manual functions — you can adjust
focus and exposure, set the white
balance, and so on. You can only adjust
shutter speeds in the Auto Recording
program.
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 analyzed frame by
frame during slow or paused playback
on a VCR.
Portrait
Use this program outdoors to make
subjects 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, and be careful
when recording action scenes, as this
program may cause fast moving objects
to shudder.
