Shooting in A (Auto) Mode
Shooting settings such as flash mode and macro mode can be changed or
applied. The Continuous setting and the Subject tracking option, with which
the active focus area follows the selected subject, can also be applied.

shooting mode to display the shooting
mode selection controls, and then tap
A.

A shooting mode can also be selected from the
HOME screen (
A 14).

Frame the subject and take a
picture.
When the camera recognizes a face,
a yellow double border (focus area) is
displayed around that face. When
the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway, the camera focuses on that
face framed by a double border
(
A 28, 34).
When taking pictures of subjects other than people, or framing a subject with which no
face is recognized, the camera selects the focus area (one of nine) containing the subject
closest to the camera (
A 34) by pressing the shutter-release button halfway.
A picture is taken when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.
At the default setting, the shutter can be released by simply tapping a subject in the
monitor (
A 51) rather than by pressing the shutter-release button. The Touch shutter
option can be changed to the R Touch AF/AE option, with which the camera locks
focus and exposure without releasing the shutter, when a subject is tapped ( A 53).
