If the camera does not recognize an appropriate scene mode, it uses the default
settings for Smart Auto mode.
Even if it detects a face, the camera may not select a portrait mode depending
on the subject’s position or lighting.
The camera may not select the correct scene depending on the shooting
conditions, such as camera shake, lighting, or distance to the subject.
Even if you use a tripod, the camera may not detect the
mode if the subject
is moving.
The camera consumes more battery power, because it changes settings often to
select appropriate scenes.
