Selecting a Scene Mode to Take Pictures (Features)
Use of a tripod is recommended in the scenes with which O is indicated. Set Vibration reduction
in the setup menu ( A 88) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• The camera detects a human face and focuses on it (A 65).
• The camera smoothes facial skin tones by applying the skin
softening function before recording pictures ( A 67).
• 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.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, focus
areas or the focus indicator ( A 6) always lights in green.
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A 41) to adjust
picture saturation.
d Sports
Use this mode for dynamic action shots that freeze the action
in a single shot and record motion in a series of pictures.
• The camera focuses at the center of the frame. The focus
area can be changed with the touch shutter or touch AF/AE
option (
A 38).
• To take pictures continuously, hold down the shutter-
release button. Up to 18 pictures are taken at a rate of about
1.4 frame per second (fps) when image mode is set to l 4608×2592.
• The camera continuously adjusts focus even when the shutter-release button is not
pressed halfway. As a result, you may hear the sound of the lens focus motor.
• During continuous shooting, focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed at the values
determined with the first picture in each series.
• The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image
mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
• Continuous shooting is disabled and only one picture can be taken at a time when the
shutter is released using the touch shutter function (
A 38).
