Shooting Features
When this camera is used for the first time, the shooting mode is set to A Point and shoot.
The camera automatically selects the optimum scene when you frame an image, making it
even easier to take images using settings that suit the scene.
A Point and shoot is the default shooting mode for this camera.
• The area of the frame that the camera focuses on varies depending on the composition of
the image.
• When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A 53). The skin softening
feature makes the skin tones in human faces appear smoother (A 54).
• The flash may fire when shooting in low light.
• When shooting in low light, the use of a tripod is recommended.
• The camera does not detect the scene when the digital zoom is being used.
C Notes About Motion Detection
In A Point and shoot and Shoot close-ups (A 38), when the camera detects subject movement
or camera shake, ISO sensitivity and shutter speed are increased to reduce blurring.
