Scene Icons

The camera displays an icon for the scene it has determined and then
automatically focuses and selects the optimum settings for subject
brightness and color.

* Appears when the scene is dark and the camera is attached to a tripod.
Under certain conditions, the icon that appears may not match the actual
scene. Especially when there is an orange or blue colored background (a
wall for example),
and it may not be possible to shoot with the appropriate color. If this
happens, try shooting in G mode (p. 70).
