shooting screen changes to that for the scene mode currently enabled.
The area of the frame that the camera focuses on (AF area) depends on the composition
of the picture. When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A64).
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 desired scene
mode manually (A39).
Digital zoom is not available.

areas or the focus indicator (A6) always glows green.
