I'm using my camera in manual mode so I control every parameter to the photograph. So I won't be much help specific to the camera.

Thinking logically though, if your taking a shot of the car from distance (with a good chunk of the surroundings) then use the scene mode..

I'd use shooting for the closer shots, one touch portrait for you general people pics, and high sensitivity for capturing pics of items that move quickly ie sports, drag strip, airplane..

thanks. take a look at these for me please. and let me know what you think.

I used scene mode and the only scene I could see fit was ' landscape ' the other ones according to the manual just didnt' seem appropriate.. my buddys saleen didnt show up in the pics for crap.. is it because of the lighting or the mode i picked..

you are in direct sunlight, so it is going to wash colors out drastically. Maybe you should try using the "Beach" setting. ?
