Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to Scenes)

yMxScene auto selector

When you frame a picture, the camera automatically selects the optimum scene for simpler shooting.

e/b: Portrait, f: Landscape, h/c: Night portrait, g: Night landscape, i:

Close-up, j/d: Backlighting, d: Other scenes

When the camera automatically selects a scene mode, the shooting mode icon changes to that for the scene mode currently enabled.

The camera automatically selects the focus area for autofocus in accordance with the

composition. The camera detects and focuses on faces (see “Using Face Detection” (A85) for more information).

Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. Should this occur, switch to A(auto) mode (A28) or select the optimum scene

mode for the subject manually.

The digital zoom is not available.

CNotes on Selecting a Scene Mode Using Scene Auto Selector and Its Shooting Operation

When the shooting mode icon is eor h, the camera performs the optimal operation for shooting a close-up picture of one to two persons. When the icon is bor c, the camera performs the optimal operation for shooting a picture of three or more persons or shooting a composition with a large background area.

If the camera switches to h/c(Night portrait), the flash mode is fixed at red-eye reduction and the flash is used for capturing portraits (images are not captured continuously) just as when Tripod is selected when using Night portrait (A47).

If the camera switches to g(Night landscape), the camera shoots images continuously and

combines and saves them as one image, just as when Hand-heldis selected when using j (Night landscape) (A42).

If the shooting mode icon is j, the camera performs the optimal operation for shooting non-

human subjects. If the icon is d, the camera performs the operation using face detection that is

 

optimal for shooting human subjects.
