Camera-Specific Tips

- Use the Easy Auto Mode button to quickly return to a fully automatic setting if you need a quick reference for challenging lighting conditions. This can help you understand how the camera would handle the scene, which you can then replicate manually.
- The camera's 2.7-inch LCD screen can be a useful tool for composing your shots in Manual mode. Use it to review your composition and ensure your settings are achieving the desired effect.
