Shooting in Portrait/Night Portrait Scene Mode

1 Press the Abutton in shooting mode to display the shooting- mode selection menu and choose b(Portrait) or e(Night portrait) (A36).

The camera enters portrait or night portrait scene mode.

2 Frame the picture.

When a face looking toward the camera is recognized, a yellow double border (focus area) will be displayed around that face.

When the camera detects more than one face, a double border will be displayed around the face closest to the camera, and single borders around the others. When a face framed by a single border is tapped, the single border changes to a double border and the camera will focus on that face.

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

The smile indicator is displayed in Portrait scene mode. If the camera detects a smiling face of the human subject framed by a double border, the smile indicator increases or decreases. The smile indicator is not displayed when the camera selects Portrait in Scene auto selector scene mode.

Portrait one-touch zoom (A 45) is available.

3Press the shutter-release button to take the picture.

Focus is locked when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, and a picture is taken when the shutter-release button is pressed the rest of the way down.

When the camera is unable to focus, the focus area blinks red. Change the composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again.
