Taking Pictures in the One-Touch Portrait Mode

For portrait shots, press m when the camera is in the auto mode, scene mode and movie mode. The following features are automatically activated:

•Portrait: Portrait subjects stand out clearly while background details are softened, lending a sense of depth to the composition.

•Face-priority AF: Face-priority AF is enabled to allow the camera to auto- matically recognize human faces.

•Auto red-eye reduction: The flash mode is automatically set to A (auto

with red-eye reduction: c 26).

Press m again to return to the shooting mode indicated with the mode selector.

1 Press m.

• The K guide is displayed.

2 Frame a picture using the K guide.

• When the camera detects a face, the guide is dis-

played with a double yellow border.

• When the camera detects more than one face, the

closest face is framed by a double border and the rest by a single border. The camera focuses on the

face framed by the double border. If the camera loses its ability to detect a face (for example,

because the subject has looked away from the camera), borders are no longer displayed and monitor display returns to that shown in step 1.

3 Press the shutter-release button halfway.

• Focus and exposure are set, and the dou- ble border turns green.

4 Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take a picture.
