Icon Description
Camera is stabilized on a tripod and the subject is not moving for a
certain period of time. (when shooting in the dark)
Actively moving subjects
If the camera does not recognize an appropriate scene mode, it uses the default
settings for mode.
Even if it detects a face, the camera may not select a portrait mode depending on
the subject's position or lighting.
The camera may not select the correct scene depending on the shooting
conditions, such as camera shake, lighting, or distance to the subject.
Even if you use a tripod, the camera may not detect the mode if the subject is
moving.
The camera consumes more battery power, because it changes settings often to
select appropriate scenes.
