Characteristics of Each Scene

scene mode from the list below and adjusts the shooting settings accordingly.

Backlighting, d: Other scenes
• The focus area depends on the composition of the image. When the camera detects a human
face, it focuses on that face ( A73).
• When the camera selects h (night portrait), flash mode is fixed at fill flash with slow sync and
red-eye reduction (when U (auto) is selected) and the camera captures one image at a
slower shutter speed.
• When the camera selects g (night landscape), flash mode is fixed at W (off), regardless of the
setting made, and the camera captures one image at a slower shutter speed.
• Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode.
Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode ( A26) or select the desired scene mode
manually.
• Digital zoom cannot be used.

the sound of the camera focusing.
