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.

“Face Priority” (A108) for more information.
• If more than one face is recognized, focus will be on the face nearest to the camera.

function before recording pictures (A 50).
• If no faces are recognized, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the screen
by pressing the shutter-release button halfway.
• Digital zoom is not available.
