If the camera does not recognize an appropriate scene mode, it uses
the default settings for the

Even if it detects a face, the camera may not select a portrait mode
depending on the subject's position or lighting.
The camera may not select the correct scene depending on the
shooting conditions, such as camera shake, lighting, or distance to
the subject.

subject is moving.

mode, the camera consumes more battery power, because it
changes settings often to select appropriate scenes.
