A Point and Shoot
When this camera is used for the first time, the shooting mode is set to A Point and
shoot. The camera recognizes the shooting conditions when you frame a picture, and
you can take pictures in accordance with the conditions.
A Point and shoot is the default shooting mode for this camera.
When the camera detects the main subject, it focuses on that subject (target
finding AF).
The flash may fire when shooting in low light.
When shooting in low light, the use of a tripod is recommended.
The camera does not detect the scene when the digital zoom is being used.
Using Target Finding AF
The camera focuses in the manner described below when you press the shutter-
release button halfway.
The camera detects the main subject and focuses
on it. When the subject is in focus, the focus area is
displayed in green. If a human face is detected, the
camera automatically sets focus priority on it.
If no main subject is detected, the camera focuses
on the area in the center of the frame.
