See "Features That Can Be Set Using the Multi Selector" (A 55) and "Default Settings" (A 69) for more information. • Features that can be set by pressing the d button: Image mode, which is the combination of image size and image quality (A 71). • When using j (night landscape), W (backlighting), or O (pet portrait), press the d button to set the Image mode or any of the options available in the current mode's shooting menu. Characteristics of Each Scene x Scene auto selector The camera automatically selects the optimum scene mode when you frame a picture. e: Portrait, f: Landscape, h: Night portrait, g: Night landscape, i: Close-up, j: Backlighting, d: Other scenes • When the camera 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 picture. The camera detects and focuses on human faces. • Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode (A 24) or select the desired scene mode manually. • Digital zoom cannot be used. C If Night Landscape or Night Portrait Is Selected When Shooting with Scene Auto Selector • If the camera switches to g (night landscape) when using scene auto selector, the camera shoots images continuously and combines and saves them as one image, just as when Handheld is selected when using j (night landscape; A 41). • If the camera switches to h (night portrait) when using scene auto selector, the flash mode is fixed at red-eye reduction and the flash is used for capturing portraits (images are not captured 40 continuously) just as when Tripod is selected when using Night portrait (A 45).
