●
Depending on recording conditions, different scene types may be determined for the
same subject.
●
If desired scene type is not selected, we recommend manually selecting the
appropriate scene mode.
●
When [ ], [ ] or [ ] is detected, Face Detection is activated, and the focus and
exposure are adjusted for the recognized faces.
●
If a tripod is used, for instance, and the camera has judged that camera shake is
minimal when the Scene Mode has been identified as [ ], the shutter speed will
be set to a maximum of 8 seconds. Take care not to move the camera while taking
pictures.
●
When [Face Recog.] is set to [ON], and the face similar to the registered face is
detected, [R] is displayed in the top right of [ ], [ ] and [ ].

About Backlight Compensation
Backlight compensation is automatically activated in [Intelligent Auto] mode. Backlight
is a condition where a light shines from behind a subject. When there is a backlight,
the subject appears darker and the camera will automatically attempt to correct it by
increasing the brightness of the picture. When the camera detects backlight, [ ] is
displayed on the LCD monitor. (Depending on the backlighting conditions, backlighting
may not be detected correctly.)
