Shooting Features Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to Scenes) Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to Scenes) x Scene auto selector The camera simplifies shooting by automatically selecting the optimum scene mode as shown below when the shot is framed. e : Portrait, f: Landscape, h: Night portrait, g: Night landscape, i: Close-up, j: Backlighting, d: Other scenes • When the camera automatically selects a scene mode, the shooting mode icon displayed in the shooting screen changes to that for the scene mode currently enabled. • The area of the frame that the camera focuses on (AF area) depends on the composition of the image. When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face. See "Face Detection" (A68) for more information. • Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode (A38) or select the desired scene mode manually. • Digital zoom is not available. b Portrait Use this mode for portraits. • The camera detects a human face and focuses on it (A68). • The camera smoothes skin tones by applying the skin softening function (A70). • If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame. • Digital zoom is not available. c Landscape Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes. • The focus area or focus indicator (A30) always glows green when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. • Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A42) to adjust image saturation. 43
