Shooting Features
c Landscape
The focus area or focus indicator (A9) always glows green when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway.
d Sports
The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
The camera focuses even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway. You may hear
the sound of the camera focusing.
Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way to capture up to 6 images continuously at
a rate of about 2 fps (when image mode is set to P).
Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each series.
The frame rate for continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image mode
setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
e Night portrait
When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A73).
If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.
From the screen displayed after e Night portrait is selected, select Hand-held or Tripod.
Hand-held (default setting):
-When the e icon at the top left of the monitor lights in green, press the shutter-release
button all the way to capture a series of images which will be combined into a single image
and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still image
is displayed. After taking an image, do not turn the camera off before the monitor switches to
the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image will be narrower
than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.
- If the subject moves while the camera is shooting continuously, the image may be distorted,
overlapped, or blurred.
Tripod: Select this option when using a tripod or other means to stabilize the camera during
shooting.
- Vibration reduction is disabled even when Vibration reduction (A104) in the setup menu
is set to On.
- One image is captured at a slow shutter speed when the shutter-release button is pressed all
the way.
The camera softens skin tones of human faces by applying the skin softening function (A55).
Digital zoom cannot be used.
