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 42) 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 47, 52).
• The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening
function before saving images ( A 77).
• 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.

• The default setting for flash mode is
b Auto with red-eye reduction.
• Use the scene effect adjustment slider (
A 61) to adjust image brightness.

Use this mode for vivid landscapes and cityscapes.
• The camera focuses at infinity. The focus area or focus
indicator ( A 30) always glows green when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway. Note, however, that
objects in the foreground may not always be in focus.
• Flash is disabled.
