b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
When the camera detects a human face, that face will be
framed by a yellow double border (focus area). See “Face
Detection” (A 49) for more information.
If more than one face is detected, the face nearest to the
camera will be framed by a yellow double border (focus
area) and the other faces will be framed by a single border.
Tap the face framed by a single border to change the focus
area to that face (A 41, 44).
The camera smoothes skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening
function before recording pictures (A 73).
If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera
focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
Digital zoom is not available.
The default setting for flash mode is b Auto with red-eye reduction.
Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A63) to adjust picture brightness.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
Camera focuses at infinity. The focus area or focus indicator
(A 28) always glows green when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. Note, however, that objects in the
foreground may not always be in focus.
The flash does not fire and the flash mode is disabled.

Use this mode for dynamic action shots that freeze the action
in a single shot and record motion in a series of pictures.
The camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
The area focused can be changed by the touch shutter
(A41) or touch AF/AE (A 44).
While the shutter-release button is held down, up to 6
pictures are taken at a rate of about 0.9 frame per second
(fps) when image mode is set to p 3968×2232.
Focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first
picture in each series.
The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image
mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
Continuous shooting is disabled and only one picture can be taken at a time when the
shutter is released using the touch shutter function (A 41).
The flash does not fire and the flash mode is disabled.
