Selecting Scenes for Shooting (Scene Mode)
More on Shooting
B Notes on Scene Auto Selector
The digital zoom is not available.
Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. Should
this occur, switch to A (Auto) mode (A24) or choose the desired scene manually (A44).
C Focusing in Scene Auto Selector
In Scene auto selector, the camera detects and focuses on a face (see “Shooting with Face Priority”
(A85) for more information).
When the shooting mode icon is d or i (Close-up), in the same way as when the AF area
mode (A83) is set to Auto, the camera automatically selects one or more of the nine focus areas
containing the subject closest to the camera.
C Shooting with Night landscape and Night portrait When Using Scene Auto
Selector
If the camera switches to g (Night landscape) when using Scene auto selector, pictures are shot
continuously, and the camera combines these pictures to save a single picture.
If the camera switches to h (Night portrait) when using Scene auto selector, flash mode is fixed
at slow sync with red-eye reduction for shooting human subjects (the camera does not shoot
continuously).
In dark surroundings, the use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction (A150) to
Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
C Notes on Flash
U (Auto) (default setting) or W (Off ) flash mode settings (A32) can be applied.
- 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 set, the flash does not fire even when the flash is raised.
If you do not want to use the flash, you can shoot while the flash is lowered.
C Functions Available in Scene Auto Selector
Self-timer (A35) and exposure compensation (A39) settings can be adjusted.
Smile timer (A36) is not available.
The rotary multi selector p (macro mode) (A10, 38) is not available.
