Selecting a Scene Mode to Take Pictures (Features)

b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• When the camera detects a human face, that face will be

framed by a yellow double border (focus area). See “Face
Detection” (

A 49) for more information.

• If more than one face is detected, the face nearest to the

camera will be framed by a yellow double border (focus
area) and the other faces will be framed by a single border.
Tap the face framed by a single border to change the focus
area to that face (

A 41, 44).

• The camera smoothes skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening

function before recording pictures (

A 73).

• 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.

• The default setting for flash mode is b Auto with red-eye reduction.
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A 63) to adjust picture brightness.

c Landscape

Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• Camera focuses at infinity. The focus area or focus indicator

(

A 28) always glows green when the shutter-release

button is pressed halfway. Note, however, that objects in the
foreground may not always be in focus.

• The flash does not fire and the flash mode is disabled.
• The AF-assist illuminator does not light (A 154).
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A 63) 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 on the subject at the center of the frame.

The area focused can be changed by the touch shutter
(

A 41) or touch AF/AE (A 44).

• While the shutter-release button is held down, up to 6

pictures are taken at a rate of about 0.9 frame per second
(fps) when image mode is set to p 3968×2232.

• 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 41).

• The flash does not fire and the flash mode is disabled.
• The AF-assist illuminator does not light (A 154).
