Shooting Suited to Scenes (Scene Mode)
More on Shooting
d Sports
Use this mode for dynamic action shots that freeze the action
in a single shot and save motion in a series of images.
• The camera focuses on the subject at the center of the
frame. The area focused can be changed by the touch
shutter (A47) or touch AF/AE (A 52). The camera
continuously adjusts the focus until the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway to lock the focus.
• While the shutter-release button is held down, about two images are captured at a rate
of up to about 1.2 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to P 4608×3456.
• Focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first
image in each series.
• The maximum 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 image can be captured at a time when the
shutter is released using the Touch shutter function (A 47).
• Flash is disabled.
• AF-assist illuminator (A160) does not light.
e Night portrait
Use this mode for portraits taken at sunset or at night. The flash
fires to light the portrait subject while preserving background
lighting to achieve a natural balance between the main
subject and background ambience.
• When the camera detects a human face, that face will be
framed by a yellow double border (focus area). See “Face
Detection” (A 42) 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 by a single border. Tap the face
framed by a single border to change the focus area to that face (A47, 52).
• The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening
function before saving images (A 77).
• 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 flash mode setting is fixed at fill flash with slow sync with red-eye reduction.
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A 61) to adjust image brightness.
