Characteristics of Each Scene
x Scene auto selector
The camera simplifies shooting by automatically selecting the optimum scene mode from
the list below when the shot is framed.
e: Portrait, f: Landscape, h: Night portrait, g: Night landscape, i: Close-up, j:
Backlighting, d: Other scenes
When the camera selects a scene mode, the shooting mode icon displayed in the
shooting screen changes to that for the scene mode currently enabled.
The focus area depends on the composition of the picture. When the camera detects a
human face, it focuses on that face (A73).
When the camera selects h (night portrait), flash mode is fixed at fill flash with slow
sync and red-eye reduction (when U (auto) is selected) and the camera captures one
image at a slower shutter speed.
When the camera selects g (night landscape), flash mode is fixed at W (off), regardless
of the setting made, and the camera captures one image at a slower shutter speed.
Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene
mode. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode (A26) or select the desired scene
mode manually.
Digital zoom cannot be used.
b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that
face (A73).
The camera softens skin tones by applying the skin
softening function (A75).
If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject
in the center of the frame.
Digital zoom cannot be used.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
The focus area or focus indicator (A7) always glows green
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
