• [4] is set if none of the scenes are applicable, and the standard settings are set.
• When [3] or [5] is selected, the camera automatically detects a person's face, and it
will adjust the focus and exposure (Face Detection) (P86).
• If a tripod is used, for instance, and the camera has judged that camera shake is
minimal when the Scene Mode has been identified as [1], the shutter speed will be
set to a maximum of 8 seconds. Take care not to move the camera while taking pictures.
• Most appropriate scene is selected for the touched subject during Touch AF Area
Selection (P58).
Note
• Due to conditions such as the ones below, a different scene may be identified for the
same subject.
– Subject conditions: When the face is bright or dark, the size of the subject, the
distance to the subject, the color of the subject, the contrast of the subject, when the
subject is moving
– Recording conditions: Sunset, sunrise, under low brightness conditions, when the
camera is shaken, when zoom is used
• For the best results, it is recommended that you take pictures in the appropriate
Recording Mode.
• The Backlight Compensation
Backlight refers to when light comes from the back of a subject.
In this case, the subject will become dark, so this function compensates the backlight by
brightening the whole of the picture automatically.
