••In [  ], [  ], and [  ], the camera adjusts the focus on the eye that is closest to this unit and matches the exposure with the face. In [Intelligent Auto] Mode, the eye to be focused on cannot be changed. ([Face/Eye Detection])

••When the camera identifies [  ] as the optimal scene and if the camera determines that jitter is reduced by the use of a tripod or by other means, a shutter speed that is slower than usual is selected. After pressing the shutter button, do not move the camera while recording.

••Automatic Scene Detection does not function until the focus is locked on a subject during AF Tracking.

••When [Face Recog.] is set to [ON] and if the camera recognizes a face similar to a registered face, [R] is displayed on the upper right corner of the [  ], [  ], and [  ] icons.

About Backlight Compensation

Backlight compensation is automatically activated in [Intelligent Auto] Mode. Backlight is a condition where a light shines from behind a subject. When there is a backlight, the subject appears darker and the camera will automatically attempt to correct it by increasing the brightness of the picture.
