Selecting a Scene Mode to Take Pictures (Features)
Use of a tripod is recommended in scene modes with which O is indicated. Set Vibration
reduction (A150) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• When the camera detects a human face, that face will be
framed by a yellow double border (focus area). See “Face
Detection” (A 50) for more information.
• If more than one face is detected, the face nearest to the
camera will be framed by a yellow double border (focus
area) and the other faces will be framed by a single border.
Tap the face framed by a single border to change the focus
area to that face (A 41, 44).
• The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening
function before recording pictures (A74).
• 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.
• The default setting for flash mode is b Auto with red-eye reduction.
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A63) to adjust picture brightness.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• Camera focuses at infinity. The focus area or focus indicator
(A30) always glows green when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. Note, however, that objects in the
foreground may not always be in focus.
• The flash does not fire and the flash mode is disabled.
• AF-assist illuminator (A 151) does not light.
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A63) to adjust picture saturation.
