Easy auto mode
Automatic Scene Selection
The camera automatically selects one of the following scenes when you point the
camera at a subject.
• U Auto mode (general use) (A 29)
• e Portrait (A 37)
• f Landscape (A 37)
• g Night landscape (A 40)
• h Night portrait (A 38)
• j Backlight (A 42)
• i Close-up (A 40)
Notes about Face Priority
• The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
- When the subject is not looking directly at the camera
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including
whether or not the subject is facing the camera.
• In some cases, included those noted in “Autofocus” (A 25), autofocus may not
perform as expected, and the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that
the double border glows green. When the camera is unable to focus, use
another mode, such as A (auto) mode, focus on another subject positioned at
the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus
lock (
A 29).
