Characteristics of Each Scene

x Scene auto selector
The camera automatically selects the optimum scene mode when you frame a picture.
e: Portrait, f: Landscape, h: Night portrait, g: Night landscape, i: Close-up,
j: Backlighting, d: Other scenes
• When the camera selects a scene mode, the shooting mode icon displayed in the
shooting screen changes to that for the scene mode currently enabled.
• The area of the frame that the camera focuses on (AF area) depends on the composition
of the picture. The camera detects and focuses on human faces.
• Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene
mode. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode (A 24) or select the desired scene
mode manually.
• Digital zoom cannot be used.

• If the camera switches to h (night portrait) when using scene auto selector, the flash mode is
fixed at red-eye reduction and the flash is used for capturing portraits (images are not captured
continuously) just as when Tripod is selected when using Night portrait (A 45).
