When you frame a picture, the camera automatically selects the optimum scene for simpler
shooting.

j: Backlighting, d: Other scenes
• When the camera automatically selects a scene mode, the shooting mode icon changes
to that for the scene mode currently enabled.
• The camera automatically selects the focus area for autofocus in accordance with the
composition. The camera detects and focuses on faces (see “Using Face Detection”
(

• Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene
mode. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode ( A28) or select the optimum scene
mode for the subject manually.
• The digital zoom is not available.
b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• The camera detects and focuses on a face (see “Using Face
Detection” ( A85) for more information).
• After the skin softening feature makes the subject’s skin
appear smoother, the camera records the image ( A86).
• If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject
at the center of the frame.
• The digital zoom is not available.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the AF/
access lamp always lights in green.
