Selecting a Scene Mode to Take Pictures (Features)
b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• When the camera detects a human face, that face will be
framed by a yellow double border (focus area). See “Face
Detection” (
A 49) for more information.
• If more than one face is detected, the face nearest to the
camera will be framed by a yellow double border (focus
area) and the other faces will be framed by a single border.
Tap the face framed by a single border to change the focus
area to that face (
A 41, 44).
• The camera smoothes skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening
function before recording pictures ( A 73).
• If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera
focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
• Digital zoom is not available.
• The default setting for flash mode is b Auto with red-eye reduction.
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (A 63) to adjust picture brightness.
c Landscape
Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• Camera focuses at infinity. The focus area or focus indicator
( A 28) always glows green when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. Note, however, that objects in the

pictures are taken at a rate of about 0.9 frame per second
(fps) when image mode is set to p 3968×2232.
• Focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first
picture in each series.
• The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image
mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.

shutter is released using the touch shutter function ( A 41).
