Shooting Suited to Scenes (Scene Mode) e Night portrait Use this mode for portraits of a human subject shot in front of background lighting at night. Flash is used to illuminate the subject while maintaining the mood of the background. When the e icon at the top left of the monitor lights in green, press the shutter-release button all the way to capture a series of images at high speed which will be combined into a single image and saved. • When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (see "Face Detection" (A 52) for more information). • If the camera detects multiple faces, the camera focuses on the face closest to the camera. • The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening function before saving images (A 35). • If no face is detected, the camera will focus on the subject in the center of the frame. • Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without moving it until a still image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen. • The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image will be narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting. • If the subject moves while the camera is shooting continuously, the image may be distorted, overlapped, or blurred. • Digital zoom is not available. • Set Vibration reduction (A 166) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera. m V n Off* p Off o 0.0* * Default setting can be modified.
