•Under certain conditions, the Smart AUTO icon that appears on the screen may not match the actual scene. Especially when shooting against orange or blue backgrounds, the sunset or one of the blue skies icons may appear and the colors may not look natural. In such case, we recommend

recording in mode (041).
