Scene Mode and Features

b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• The camera detects a human face and focuses on it (A 65).
• The camera smoothes skin tones by applying the skin
softening function before recording pictures (A 67).
• If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject
at the center of the screen.
• Digital zoom is not available.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, focus
areas or the focus indicator (A 8) always lights in green.
d Sports
Use this mode for dynamic action shots that freeze the action
in a single shot and record motion in a series of pictures.
• The camera focuses at the center of the frame.
• To take pictures continuously, hold down the shutter-
release button. Up to 18 pictures are taken at a rate of about
0.8 frames per second (fps) when Image mode is set to R
4320×3240.
• The camera continuously adjusts focus even when the shutter-release button is not
pressed halfway. As a result, you may hear the sound of the lens focus motor.
• During continuous shooting, focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed at the values
determined with the first picture in each series.
• The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image
mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
Use of a tripod is recommended in scene modes with which O is indicated. Set Vibration
reduction to Off from the setup menu (A 98) when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
