default settings will be used.
Even if there is a face detected, 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
shooting environments, such as camera shake, lighting, and
distance to the subject.
The [Night] mode recognizes scenes only when the fl ash is set

shooting condition on the tripod for a certain time.

depending on the subject’s movement.
