The procedure for switching shooting modes is explained below.
Switching to AUTO (Smart Auto) Mode For fully automatic selection of the optimal settings for specific scenes, simply let the camera determine the subject and shooting conditions.
1. Press the <Power> button to turn the camera on.
2. Set the Mode Dial to <  >.
Aim the camera at the subject. The camera will make a slight clicking noise as it determines the scene.
Icons representing the scene are displayed in the upper left of the screen.
Frames displayed around any detected subjects indicate that they are in focus.
Switching to Hybrid Auto Mode You can make a short movie of the day just by shooting still images. The camera records 2 4-second clips of scenes before each shot, which are later combined in a digest movie.
1. Press the <Power> button to turn the camera on.
2. Set the Mode Dial to <  >.
IMPORTANT
- Battery life is shorter in this mode than in [
 ] mode, because digest movies are recorded for each shot.
- A digest movie may not be recorded if you shoot a still image immediately after turning the camera on, choosing [ ]mode, or operating the camera in other ways.
- Sounds and vibrations from operating the camera will be recorded in digest movies.
