Shooting in the Scene Mode Selected by the Camera

By simply framing a picture, the camera automatically selects the optimum scene
mode for simpler shooting.
When the camera is aimed at a subject in x scene auto selector scene mode, the
camera automatically selects one of the following scene modes:

Press the A button in shooting
mode to display the shooting-mode
selection menu and use the multi
selector to select x (Scene auto
selector) (

A 33).

The camera enters scene auto selector scene
mode.

Frame the subject and take the picture.

When the camera automatically selects a scene mode,
the shooting mode icon changes to that for the scene
mode currently enabled.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus and exposure.
Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.
