Scene auto selector
The camera simplifies shooting by automatically selecting the optimum scene mode as
shown below when the shot is framed.
e: Portrait, f: Landscape, h: Night portrait, g: Night landscape, i: Close-up, j:
Backlighting, d: Other scenes
• When the camera selects a scene mode, the shooting mode icon displayed in the
shooting screen changes to that for the scene mode currently enabled.
• The area of the frame that the camera focuses on (AF area) depends on the composition
of the picture. When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A64).
• Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene
mode. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode (A24) or select the desired scene
mode manually (A39).
• Digital zoom is not available.
b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• The camera detects a human face and focuses on it (A64).
• The camera smoothes skin tones by applying the skin
softening function (A66).
• If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject
at the center of the frame.
• Digital zoom is not available.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, focus
areas or the focus indicator (A6) always glows green.
