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 41) for more information.
If more than one face is detected, the face nearest to the
camera will be framed by a 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 (A45, 50).
The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening
function before recording pictures (A75).
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 (A60) to adjust picture brightness.

(A30) always glows green when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. Note, however, that objects in the
foreground may not always be in focus.
Flash is disabled.
