Shooting modes and My Colors
Choose from15 shooting modes to get that perfect shot. Eight easy-to-use Special Scene modes help with great results in tricky lighting conditions, including Beach, Foliage and Snow. My Colors allows special in-camera colour effects to be applied in real time to images and movies.
