(Soft Skin)* | Allows you to shoot faces for smoothness.
(Soft Snap) | Allows you to shoot images with a softer atmosphere for portraits and flowers, etc.
(Anti Motion Blur)* | Allows you to shoot indoor shots without using the flash to reduce subject blur.
(Landscape) | Allows easy shooting of distant scenes by focusing in the distance. Shoots the clear sky and trees and flowers in vivid colors.
(Backlight Correction HDR)* | Allows you to shoot three images having different exposures to create a single image with a greater range of gradation.

(Pet)* | Allows you to shoot images of your pet with the best settings.
(Beach) | Allows you to shoot images with the proper settings for seaside or lakeside scenes.

(Fireworks) | Allows you to record fireworks in all their splendor.

Notes

- When you shoot images using (Twilight Portrait), (Twilight ) or (Fireworks) mode, the shutter speed is slower and the images tend to blur. To prevent blurring, the use of a tripod is recommended.

- You may not be able to set some functions or MENU items depending on the selected REC mode. For details, see “Functions not available in some REC modes” [Details] and “MENU items not available in some REC modes.” [Details]
