How to use the Smart Auto mode ( )

In Smart Auto mode, the camera automatically chooses the appropriate camera settings based on the type of scene (Night, Land-scape, etc.) it detects. Use Smart Auto mode if you are unfamiliar with the camera’s settings and functions. Note that you can still manually conﬁgure all functions except the aperture value and shutter speed.

1. Select Smart Auto mode using the Mode dial. (p.22)

2. Point the camera towards the subject and compose the image using the LCD screen.

3.Press the Shutter button to capture an image.

If the camera does not recognize a proper scene mode, it uses the default settings.

Even if it detects a face, the camera may not select a portrait mode depending on the subject’s position or lighting.

The camera may not select the correct scene depending on shooting conditions, such as camera shake, lighting, and distance to the subject.

The camera recognizes [Night] mode scenes only when the ﬂash is set to off. The camera implements [Tripod] mode after checking the shooting conditions for a period of time.

Despite being on a tripod, the camera may not select a [Tripod] mode depending on the subject’s movement.

The camera recognizes scenes under the following conditions;

[Landscape]	(	) : When shooting outdoor scenes
[White]	(	) : When shooting a white background
[Nights]	(	) : When shooting nighttime scenes
[Night Portrait]	(	) : When shooting portraits or people in a
		dark outdoor place
[Backlight]	(	) : When shooting backlit scenery without a
		portrait
[Backlight Portrait]	(	) : When shooting a backlit portrait
[Portrait]	(	) : When shooting a portrait

[Tripod]	(	) : When shooting a subject that doesn’t
		move when the camera is mounted on a
		tripod (available only when the camera
		recognizes it as nighttime)

		frequent movements
