Tip
Under normal recording conditions, the
camera automatically makes various
adjustments, such as those for the focus,
iris, exposure, and white balance, as it
shoots. However, you may not be able to
carry out your desired shooting
depending on shooting conditions. The
SCENE SELECTION function provides
you with near-optimum adjustments to
suit your shooting situation.
