Question :
How do I set the Anti-Shock function?

Answer:

What is Anti-Shock?

To prevent camera shake caused by the small vibrations that occur during shutter operation, Anti-Shock shooting is performed using an electronic front-curtain shutter.

The interval between the shutter button is pressed and the shutter is released can be set from 0 second to 30 seconds. (Default setting is 0 second)

Please see the following procedure for how to enable Anti-Shock and how to set its interval:

Question :
Which shooting mode should I use? [Shooting mode, Scenes]

Answer:
The available modes are iAUTO, P (Program Auto), A (Shutter priority), S (Aperture priority), M (Manual), (PHOTO STORY), SCN (25 scene modes), ART (14 art filters) and Movie.

iAUTO

iAUTO is a fully automated mode.
This mode is best suited for beginners because the camera determines the optimum settings for the shooting conditions automatically.
You can also use the live guide.
* Some menu settings cannot be changed.

P (Program Auto)

The camera automatically sets the optimum aperture and shutter speed based on the lighting conditions.

A (Aperture-priority Mode)

This mode enables you to take photos by setting the aperture (F-number) manually. The camera sets the shutter speed automatically.
If a larger aperture (lower F-number) is set, the focus range becomes narrower. You will get pictures of a subject with out-of-focus background.
If a smaller aperture (higher F-number) is set, the focus range becomes wider. Both the subject and the background come into focus.

S (Shutter-priority Mode)

In this mode, the shutter speed can be set manually. The aperture is set automatically.
A fast shutter speed can freeze a fast-moving action without blurring.
A slow shutter speed will blur a fast-moving action. This blurring will give the impression of dynamic motion.

M (Manual)

Both the aperture and the shutter speed can be set manually.
You can also set the BULB (Bulb photography), LIVETIME (Live time photography) and LIVECOMP (Live composite photography).

(PHOTO STORY)

Photo story combines multiple photos into a single image. There are five patterns: Standard, Speed, Zoom In/Out, Layout and Fun Frames.
You can set different variations (effects, aspect ratios) and take photos in touch screen operation.

SCN (Scene Mode)

The camera offers 25 scene modes for shooting in various conditions:

1. Portrait
   This mode is best suited for taking portraits. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions to produce natural skin tones.

3. Landscape
   This mode is suitable for taking pictures of landscapes. It vividly reproduces blues and greens.
   
   
4. Landscape+Portrait
   This mode is suitable for shooting both a foreground subject and background landscape. It clearly reproduces blues, greens and natural skin tones.
   
   
5. Sport

6. Hand-Held Starlight
   This mode is best suited for taking night scenes without a tripod.
   8 frames are shot at one time and the images are then combined.
   
   
7. Night Scene
   This mode is best suited for shooting illuminated scenes in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed than in normal shooting.
   Use a tripod so your camera remains steady when shooting.
