Shooting in Scene Mode

Features

The following icons are used for descriptions in this section: X = flash mode
(A 32), n = self-timer (A 34), p = macro mode (A 35), o = exposure
compensation (A 36).
x Scene auto selector
By simply framing a picture, the camera automatically selects the optimum scene mode.
See "Shooting in the Scene Mode Selected by the Camera (Scene Auto Selector)" (A 45)
for more information.
X U
1 The camera automatically chooses the optimum flash mode setting for the scene mode it has
selected. W (off) can be selected.
2 Other settings can be selected.
3 Changes to On when the camera selects close-up scene mode.
b Portrait
Use this mode for taking portraits in which the main subject
stands out clearly.
• If the camera detects a face, it focuses on the face (Shooting
with Face Priority ➝ A 106).
• If the camera detects multiple faces, the camera focuses on
the face closest to the camera.
• The skin softening feature can make the subject's (up to three people) skin appear
smoother, then record the image (A 52).
• If no face is recognized, the camera will focus on the subject in the center of the frame.
• Digital zoom is not available.
X V*
* Other settings can be selected.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• Camera focuses at infinity. When the shutter-release button
is pressed halfway, the focus area or focus indicator (A 6)
always lights green; however, focus may not be set for near
subjects, while the camera focuses at infinity.
• AF-assist illuminator (A 127) does not light.
X W
* Other settings can be selected.
Q: Indicates pictures shot in this scene mode are processed automatically to reduce noise, and
therefore may take more time to save.
