Characteristics of Each Scene
x Scene auto selector
When you point the camera at the subject, the camera automatically selects the optimum
scene mode from the list below and adjusts the shooting settings accordingly.
e: Portrait, f: Landscape, h: Night portrait, g: Night landscape, i: Close-up, j:
Backlighting, d: Other scenes
The focus area depends on the composition of the image. 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.

When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A73).

the sound of the camera focusing.
The camera softens skin tones of human faces by applying the skin softening function (A55).
