Using the Intelligent Portrait mode

In Intelligent Portrait mode, the camera detects the face of a subject and automatically enlarges the face, crops the photo around the face, and then saves the original photo and 2 portraits in 3 separate files. You can use Intelligent Portrait mode to extract and save close-up portraits of a single individual from landscape shots.

1 On the Home screen, scroll to <Scene>.

2 Select .

3 Align your subject in the frame, and then half-press [Shutter] to focus.

4 Press [Shutter] to capture the photo.

The original photo and 2 cropped photos are saved under consecutive file names.

The Intelligent Portrait mode will save only the original photo if:

-no face is detected

-more than 2 faces are detected

-the detected facial area is larger than a certain ratio

The cropped photos maintain the same aspect ratio (16:9) as the original or the inverse aspect ratio (9:16).

In Intelligent Portrait mode, it may take longer to save files.
