When recording motion pictures
[i-Portrait] [i-Scenery] [i-Low Light] [i-Macro]
When scene does not correspond to any of the above
• In [ ], [ ], and [ ], the camera adjusts the focus on the eye that is closest to this
unit and matches the exposure with the face. In [Intelligent Auto] Mode, the eye to be
focused on cannot be changed. ([Face/Eye Detection])
• When the camera identifies [ ] as the optimal scene and if the camera determines
that jitter is reduced by the use of a tripod or by other means, a shutter speed that
is slower than usual is selected. After pressing the shutter button, do not move the
camera while recording.
• Automatic Scene Detection does not function until the focus is locked on a subject
during AF Tracking.
• When [Face Recog.] is set to [ON] and if the camera recognises a face similar to a
registered face, [R] is displayed on the upper right corner of the [ ], [ ], and [ ]
icons.

Depending on recording conditions, different scene types may be determined for the same
subject.
About Backlight Compensation
Backlight compensation is automatically activated in [Intelligent Auto] Mode. Backlight
is a condition where a light shines from behind a subject. When there is a backlight,
the subject appears darker and the camera will automatically attempt to correct it by
increasing the brightness of the picture.
