Selecting a Scene Mode to Take Pictures (Features)

See "Shooting in the Scene Mode Selected by the Camera (Scene Auto Selector)"
(A 61) for more information on scene auto selector scene mode.
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 41) for more information.
• If more than one face is detected, the face nearest to the
camera will be framed by a 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 45, 50).
• The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening
function before recording pictures (A 75).
• 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 60) to adjust picture brightness.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• 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 156) does not light up.
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A 60) to adjust picture saturation.
