More on Shooting Shooting Suited to Scenes (Scene Mode) B Notes on Scene Auto Selector • Digital zoom is not available. • Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode (A 22) or select the desired scene manually (A 58). C Focusing Using Scene Auto Selector • When the camera detects a human face in scene auto selector, it focuses on that face. See "Face Detection" (A 52) for more information. • When the shooting mode indicator d or i (close-up) is displayed, the camera automatically selects the focus area (up to nine areas) containing the subject closest to the camera as same as when Auto is selected for AF area mode (A 50). C Shooting with Night Landscape and Night Portrait When Using Scene Auto Selector • If the camera switches to g (night landscape) when using scene auto selector, slow shutter speeds are used to capture the ambience of night landscapes (the camera does not shoot continuously). • If the camera switches to h (night portrait) when using scene auto selector, flash mode is fixed at slow sync with red-eye reduction for shooting human subjects (the camera does not shoot continuously). • In dark surroundings, the use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction (A 166) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
