Shooting Features
y M b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• The camera detects and focuses on a face (see “Using Face
Detection” (A75) for more information).
• After the skin softening feature makes facial skin tones
softer, the camera records the image (A52).
• If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject
at the center of the frame.
• The digital zoom is not available.
y M c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the
focus area or focus indicator (A6) always lights in green.
y M d Sports
Use this mode when shooting sporting events. The camera
captures a series of still images that allow you to clearly see
detailed movements in a moving subject.
• The camera focuses at the center area of the frame.
• To capture a series of images, hold down the shutter-
release button all the way. About six pictures are shot at a
rate of about two frames per second (fps) (when image mode is set to P 4608×3456).
• The camera focuses the subject even when the shutter-release button is not pressed
halfway. You may hear the sound of the camera focusing.
• Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first shot in each
series.
• The frame rate with continuous shooting may become slow depending upon the current
image mode setting, image size setting, memory card used, or shooting condition.
