Selecting a Scene Mode to Take Pictures (Features)

bPortrait

Use this mode for portraits.

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

framed by a yellow double border (focus area). See “Face Detection” (A49) 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 (A41, 44).

•The camera smoothes skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening function before recording pictures (A73).

•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 default setting for flash mode is bAuto with red-eye reduction.

•Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A63) to adjust picture brightness.

cLandscape

Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.

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

pictures are taken at a rate of about 0.9 frame per second (fps) when image mode is set to p3968×2232.

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