Which shooting mode should I use? [Shooting mode, Scenes]
The available modes are iAUTO, P (Program Auto), S (Shutter priority), A (Aperture priority), M (Manual), 
(PHOTO STORY), SCN (25 scene modes), ART (14 art filters) and 
Movie.
iAUTO
iAUTO is a fully automated mode.
This mode is best suited for beginners because the camera determines the optimum settings for the shooting conditions automatically.
You can also use the live guide.

P (Program Auto)
The camera automatically sets the optimum aperture and shutter speed based on the lighting conditions.
A (Aperture-priority Mode)
This mode enables you to take photos by setting the aperture (F-number) manually. The camera sets the shutter speed automatically.
If a larger aperture (lower F-number) is set, the focus range becomes narrower. You will get pictures of a subject with out-of-focus background.
If a smaller aperture (higher F-number) is set, the focus range becomes wider. Both the subject and the background come into focus.
S (Shutter-priority Mode)
In this mode, the shutter speed can be set manually. The aperture is set automatically.
A fast shutter speed can freeze a fast-moving action without blurring.
A slow shutter speed will blur a fast-moving action. This blurring will give the impression of dynamic motion.
M (Manual)
Both the aperture and the shutter speed can be set manually.
You can also set the BULB (Bulb photography), LIVETIME (Live time photography) and LIVECOMP (Live composite photography).
