Selecting Scenes for Shooting (Scene Mode)

dSports

Use this mode for dynamic action shots that freeze the action in a single shot and record motion in a series of pictures. With continuous shooting, instantaneous movements of moving subjects can be captured clearly.

•The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame. The camera continuously focuses using autofocus until you press the shutter-release button halfway to lock the focus.

•While the shutter-release button is fully held down, up to 45 pictures are shot at a rate of

about 1.3 frames per second (fps) when Image quality is set to Normal and Image size is set to M3648×2736.

•Focus, exposure compensation, and white balance are fixed at values determined with the first shot in each series.

•The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary, depending upon the current image quality setting, image size setting, and the memory card used.

•AF-assist illuminator (A177) does not light.

Use this mode for portraits of a human subject shot in front of background lighting at night. Flash is used to illuminate the subject while maintaining the mood of the background.

•Shoot pictures with the built-in flash raised.

•The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face (see “Shooting with Face Priority” (A86) for more information).

•If the camera detects multiple faces, the camera focuses on the face closest to the camera.

•After the skin softening feature makes the subject’s skin appear smoother (up to three people), the camera records the image (A37).

•If no face is recognized, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.

•The digital zoom is not available.
