Shooting in the Scene Mode Selected by the Camera
(Scene Auto Selector)
By simply framing a picture, the camera automatically selects the optimum scene
mode for simpler shooting.
When a picture is framed in x (Scene auto selector) mode, the camera
automatically adjusts settings for one of the following scene modes:
1 Press the A button in shooting
mode to display the shooting-mode
selection menu and use the multi
selector to select x (Scene auto
selector) mode (A 36).
The camera enters scene auto selector
mode.
2 Frame the subject and take a picture.
When the camera automatically selects a scene mode,
the shooting mode icon changes to that for the scene
mode currently enabled.
Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus and exposure. When the subject is
in focus, the active focus area glows green.
Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.
B Note on Scene Auto Selector Mode
Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. Should
this occur, switch to A (auto) mode (A22) or select the desired scene mode manually (A 36).
C Focusing in Scene Auto Selector Mode
• When the camera recognizes a human face in scene auto selector mode, it focuses on that face.
See “Face Priority” (A108) for more information.
• When the shooting mode indicator d or i is displayed, the camera automatically selects the
focus area (one of nine) containing the subject closest to the camera as same as when Auto is
selected for AF area mode (A106).
