Pentax Optio A40 - Modes

The camera also provides a large number of photographic modes that offer great flexibility in how the camera is used in a wide variety of situations. Alongside standard mode options such as automatic, program, shutter priority, night, landscape and portrait, Pentax has included a range of more unusual options, including:

• Flower mode
  Automatically optimized focus and color settings to suit nature subjects.
  

• Natural skin tone mode
  Color optimization for skin tones.
  

• Food mode
  Increased color saturation for food photography.
  
  

• Kids mode
  Designed for moving subjects, on the basis that children rarely sit still for long enough to have their pictures taken.
  

• Pets mode
  Pet mode is color-optimized for animal photography, and offers settings based on the color of your pet's fur.
  

• Sports mode
  Many cameras have sports modes which maximize the shutter speed for moving subjects, but not all offer snow and surf sub-settings like the A40.
  

• Text mode
  Optimized to allow the capture of sharp images of black and white text, but can be used in other situations where monochrome is required.
