Shooting Suited to Scenes (Scene Mode)

dSports

Use this mode for dynamic action shots that freeze the action in a single shot and record motion in a series of pictures. With continuous shooting, instantaneous movements in moving subjects can be captured clearly.

The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame. The camera focuses continuously until the shutter- release button is pressed halfway to lock the focus.

While the shutter-release button is held down, pictures are taken at rate of up to about 0.7 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to I4000 × 3000. Shooting ends when the shutter-release button is released, or ten shots have been taken with the shutter-release button held down.

Focus, exposure compensation, and white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first shot in each series.

The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.

Use this mode for portraits taken at sunset or at night. The flash fires to light the portrait subject while preserving background lighting to achieve a natural balance between the main subject and background ambience.

The camera detects and focuses on a human face. See “Face Detection” (A 47) for more information.

If more than one face is detected, focus will be on the face closest to the camera.

The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening function before saving images (A 65).

If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.

Digital zoom is not available.
