(A 62) for more information on scene auto selector.
b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• When the camera detects a human face, that face will be
framed by a yellow double border (focus area). See “Face
Detection” (A 42) for more information.
• If more than one face is detected, the face nearest to the
camera will be framed by a yellow double border (focus
area) and the other faces will be framed by a single border. Tap the face framed by a
single border to change the focus area to that face (A 47, 52).
• The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening
function before saving images (A 77).
• If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera
focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
• Digital zoom is not available.
• The default setting for flash mode is b Auto with red-eye reduction.
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A 61) to adjust image brightness.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• The camera focuses at infinity. The focus area or focus
indicator (A 30) always glows green when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway. Note, however, that
objects in the foreground may not always be in focus.
• Flash is disabled.
• AF-assist illuminator (A 160) does not light.
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A 61) to adjust image saturation.
Use of a tripod is recommended in scene modes with which O is indicated. Set Vibration
reduction (A 158) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
