Shooting Suited to Scenes (Scene Mode)

e Night portrait

O

Use this mode for portraits taken at sunset or at night. The flash fires to light the portrait subject while preserving background lighting to achieve a natural balance between the main subject and background ambience.

When the camera detects a human face, that face will be

framed by a yellow double border (focus area). See “Face Detection” (A 49) for more information.

If more than one face is detected, the face nearest to the camera will be framed by a

yellow double border (focus area) and the other faces will be framed by a single border. Tap the face framed by a single border to change the focus area to that face (A 41, 44).

The camera smoothes skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening function before recording pictures (A 73).

If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.

Digital zoom is not available.

The flash mode setting is fixed at fill flash with slow sync with red-eye reduction.

Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A 63) to adjust picture brightness.

Camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.

The area focused can be changed by the touch shutter (A41) or touch AF/AE (A44).
