Focusing in Scene Auto Selector Mode
• In scene auto selector mode, the camera detects and focuses on a face looking toward the camera
(see "Shooting with Face Priority" (A123) for more information).
• When the shooting mode icon d is displayed or when i (close-up) mode is in use, the
camera will automatically focus on the area (one of nine) containing the subject closest to the
camera. This is similar to the Auto setting of AF area mode (A122).

• When U (auto) is applied, the camera automatically chooses the optimum flash mode setting
for the scene mode it has selected.
• When W (off ) is applied, the flash does not fire, regardless of shooting conditions.
