bPortrait

Use this mode for portraits in which the main subject stands out clearly. Portrait subjects exhibit smooth, natural-looking skin tones.

The camera detects and focuses on a face looking toward the camera. See “Face Priority” (A102) for more information.

If the camera detects a smiling face of the subject, the smile indicator increases or decreases.

If more than one face is recognized, focus will be on the face nearest to the camera.

If no faces are recognized, focus will be on the center of the screen.

Digital zoom is not available.
