[ADVANCED MODE]This mode combines “point-and-shoot” simplicity with sophisticated photographic techniques.
The [Adv. MODE] option in the shooting menu can be used to choose from the following advanced modes:
The camera takes up to three shots each time the shutter button is pressed, softening the background to emphasize the main subject. The amount of softening can be adjusted before shooting by rotating the main/sub-command dial. Use for portraits or photos of flowers similar to those produced by SLR cameras.
Softening can not be applied to background objects that are too close to the main subject. If a message stating that the camera can not create the effect is displayed when the camera focuses, try backing away from your subject and zooming in. The camera may also be unable to soften the background if the subject is moving; if prompted, check the results and try again.
Frame coverage is reduced.
[PRO FOCUS]
To save unprocessed copies of pictures taken in these modes, select [ON] for the [SAVE DATA SET-UP] > [SAVE ORG IMAGE] option in the setup menu.
Keep the camera steady during shooting.
Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera makes four exposures and combines them into a single photograph. Use to reduce noise and blur when photographing poorly lit subjects or static subjects at high zoom ratios.
A single combined photograph may not be created with some scenes or if the subject or camera moves during shooting. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
[PRO LOW-LIGHT]
To save unprocessed copies of pictures taken in these modes, select [ON] for the [SAVE DATA SET-UP] > [SAVE ORG IMAGE] option in the setup menu.
Keep the camera steady during shooting.
Create a photograph that combines two exposures.
Take the first shot.

To return to Step 1 and retake the first shot, press the selector left. To save the first shot and exit without creating a multiple exposure, press [DISP/BACK].
Take the second shot.
Press [MENU/OK] to create the multiple exposure, or press the selector left to return to Step 3 and retake the second shot.
