Camera: Shooting modes

Auto

Use this to take photos with scene modes selected automatically by the camera. In this mode, the camera recognises surrounding conditions and automatically adjusts factors that contribute to exposure, including the shutter speed, aperture value, metering, and white balance. As the camera controls most of the functions, some shooting options are limited. This mode is useful for capturing quick snapshots with the least amount of adjustment.

Tap MODE Auto.

To display an icon for a scene mode at the top right of the preview screen when you half- press the Shutter button, tap Detection display On.

The camera may detect different scenes, even the same subjects, depending on external factors, such as camera shake, lighting, and distance to the subject.

If the camera does not recognise an appropriate scene mode, it uses the default settings for this mode.

Even if it detects a face, the camera may not select a portrait mode depending on the subject’s position or lighting.

In this mode, the camera consumes more battery power due to constant changing of settings when selecting appropriate modes.
