Notes on Selecting a Scene Mode Using Scene Auto Selector and Its
Shooting Operation
• When the shooting mode icon is
e
or
h
, the camera performs the optimal operation for
shooting a close-up picture of one to two persons. When the icon is
b
or
c
, the camera
performs the optimal operation for shooting a picture of three or more persons or shooting a
composition with a large background area.
• If the camera switches to
h
/
c
(Night portrait), the flash mode is fixed at red-eye reduction and
the flash is used for capturing portraits (images are not captured continuously) just as when
Tripod is selected when using Night portrait (
A
47).
• If the camera switches to
g
(Night landscape), the camera shoots images continuously and
combines and saves them as one image, just as when Hand-held is selected when using
j
(Night landscape) (
A
42).
• If the shooting mode icon is
j
, the camera performs the optimal operation for shooting non-
human subjects. If the icon is
d
, the camera performs the operation using face detection that is
optimal for shooting human subjects.

• 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”
(
A
85) for more information).
• Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene
mode. Should this occur, switch to
A
(auto) mode (
A
28) or select the optimum scene
mode for the subject manually.
• The digital zoom is not available.
