the scene mode has been identified as [ ], the shutter speed will be slower than normal. Take

care not to move the camera while taking pictures.

Note

• Due to conditions such as the ones below, a different scene may be identified for the same

subject.

– Subject conditions: When the face is bright or dark, The size of the subject, The distance to

the subject, The contrast of the subject, When the subject is moving

– Recording conditions: Sunset, Sunrise, Under low brightness conditions, When the camera is

shaken, When zoom is used

• To take pictures in an intended scene, it is recommended that you take pictures in the

appropriate recording mode.

• The Backlight Compensation

– Backlight refers to when light comes from the back of a subject. In this case, the subject will

become dark, so this function compensates the backlight by brightening the whole of the

picture automatically. Backlight compensation is automatically applied in Intelligent Auto

Mode.
