Characteristics of Each Scene

dScene auto selector

•When you point the camera at the subject, the camera automatically selects the optimum

scene mode from the list below and adjusts the shooting settings accordingly.

e: Portrait, f: Landscape, h: Night portrait, g: Night landscape, i: Close-up, j: Backlighting,

d: Other scenes

•The focus area depends on the composition of the picture. When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A75). The focus area can be changed using the touch shutter or touch AF/AE (A69).

•When the camera selects h (night portrait), flash mode is fixed at fill flash with slow sync and red-eye reduction (when U(auto) is selected) and the camera captures one image at a slower shutter speed.

•When the camera selects g (night landscape), flash mode is fixed at W (off), regardless of the setting made, and the camera captures one image at a slower shutter speed.

•Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. Should this occur, switch to A(auto) mode (A26) or select the desired scene mode manually.

•Digital zoom cannot be used.

bPortrait

•When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A75).

•The camera softens skin tones of human faces by applying the skin softening function (A56).

•If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.

•Digital zoom cannot be used.

•The camera focuses even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway. The sound of the lens focus motor may be heard while the camera focuses.

cLandscape

•Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A41) to adjust image saturation.

•The focus area or focus indicator (A7) always glows green when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
