Shooting Suited for the Scene

eNight portrait

OQ

Use this mode for portraits of a human subject shot in front of background lighting at night. Flash is used to illuminate the subject while maintaining the mood of the background.

•Shoot pictures with the built-in flash raised.

•The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face (see “Shooting with Face Priority” (A91) for more information).

•If the camera detects multiple faces, the camera focuses on the face closest to the camera.

•After the skin softening feature makes the subject's skin appear smoother (up to three people), record the image (A56).

•If no face is recognized, the camera will focus on the subject in the center of the frame.

•Digital zoom is not available.
