Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to Scenes)
Shooting Features
y M x Scene auto selector
When you frame a picture, the camera automatically selects the optimum scene for simpler
shooting.
e/b: Portrait, f: Landscape, h/c: Night portrait, g: Night landscape, i:
Close-up, j/d: Backlighting, d: Other scenes
• When the camera automatically selects a scene mode, the shooting mode icon changes
to that for the scene mode currently enabled.
• The camera automatically selects the focus area for autofocus in accordance with the
composition. The camera detects and focuses on faces (see “Using Face Detection”
(A80) for more information).
• Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene
mode. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode (A24) or select the optimum scene
mode for the subject manually.
• The digital zoom is not available.
C Notes on Selecting a Scene Mode Using Scene Auto Selector and Its
Shooting Operation
• If the shooting mode icon is e or h, the camera performs the optimal operation for
shooting a close-up picture of one to two persons. If the icon is b or c, the camera
performs the optimal operation for shooting a picture of three or more persons or shooting a
composition with a large background area.
• If the camera switches to h/c (Night portrait), 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 (A41).
• If the camera switches to g (Night landscape), the camera shoots images continuously and
combines and saves them as one image, just as when Hand-held is selected when using j
(Night landscape) (A38).
• If the shooting mode icon is j, the camera performs the optimal operation for shooting non-
human subjects. If the icon is d, the camera performs the operation using face detection that
is optimal for shooting human subjects.
y M b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• The camera detects and focuses on a face (see “Using Face
Detection” (A80) for more information).
• After the skin softening feature makes facial skin tones
softer, the camera records the image (A50).
• If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject
at the center of the frame.
• The digital zoom is not available.
