Using the Scene Mode

Features

b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits in which the main subject stands
out clearly. Portrait subjects exhibit smooth, natural-looking
skin tones.
• If the camera recognizes a person's face (front view), the
camera will focus on that person (face priority: A 22).
• If more than one face is recognized, the camera focuses on
the face closest to the camera.
• If no faces are recognized, focus will be on the center of the screen.
• Digital zoom is not available.

Use this mode for dynamic action shots that freeze the action
in a single shot and record motion in a series of pictures.

button is pressed halfway to lock the focus.
• While the shutter-release button is held down, up to 5
pictures are taken at a rate of about 1.4 frames per second
(fps) for L20 and 1.0 fps for L19 when image mode is set to
i Normal (3648) for L20 and R Normal (3264) for L19.
• The maximum frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the
current image mode setting and the memory card used.
