BAUTO

•The camera focuses continuously on the faces of portrait subjects or on subjects near the center of the frame. This increases the drain on the battery, and the sound of the camera focusing may be audible.

JRED-EYE REDUCTION

Reduce red-eye in portraits taken with the flash under low light (pg. 27).
