When the subject does not correspond to any of the scene modes above
•In [ ], [ ], and [ ], the camera focuses on the eye that is closest to the camera
and matches the exposure to the face. In [Snapshot Mode], the eye to be focused on
cannot be changed.
([Face/Eye Detection])
•When the camera identifies [ ] as the optimal scene mode and if the camera
determines that camera shake is reduced by the use of a tripod or by other means,
a shutter speed that is slower than usual may be selected. After pressing the shutter
button, do not move the camera while recording.
•Automatic Scene Detection does not function until the focus is locked on a subject
during AF Tracking.
•When [Face Recog.] is set to [ON] and if the camera recognizes a face similar to a
registered face, [R] is displayed on the upper right corner of the [ ], [ ], and [ ]
icons.
●
Depending on recording conditions, different scene modes may be determined for the same
subject.
About Backlight Compensation
Backlight compensation is automatically activated in [Snapshot Mode]. Backlight is a
condition where the main subject is significantly darker than the rest of the frame. In such
cases, the subject would be rendered too dark and so the camera automatically attempts
to compensate by increasing the overall brightness of the picture.
