How to use the Smart Auto mode
The camera automatically chooses the appropriate camera settings
based on a detected type of scene. It will be helpful if you are not
familiar with the camera settings for various scenes.

Mode dial. (p.20)
2. Point the camera towards the subject
and compose the image by using the
LCD monitor.
3. Press the Shutter button to capture an
image.
If the camera does not recognize a proper scene mode, the
default settings will be used.
Even if there is a face detected, 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
shooting environments, such as camera shake, lighting, and
distance to the subject.
