≥ Modes are selected automatically by the unit, 

so it may not choose desired mode depending 
on the recording conditions.

≥ Brightness may change suddenly or flicker 

when set to on.

≥ In the portrait mode, one that is bigger and 

close to centre of the screen will be surrounded 
by an orange frame. (

l 61)

≥ It is recommended using a tripod in night 

portrait and night scenery mode.

≥ Optical image stabilizer function (

l 52) is set 

to Active mode/ON in all modes.

≥ In the following case, faces may not be 

detected in some recording conditions.
jFaces are not full-faces
jFaces tilt
jFaces are not completely exposed (for 

instance wearing sunglasses)

jThe size of a face is small on the screen.
jWhen the digital zoom is used

recording conditions, even if faces are 
detected.

l 62)

∫ When Intelligent auto mode is set 

When the Intelligent auto mode is set to off, the 
auto white balance and auto focus operate and 
automatically adjust the colour balance and 
focusing.
Depending on the brightness of the subject etc., 
the aperture and shutter speed are automatically 
adjusted for an optimum brightness.
≥ Colour balance and focus may not be adjusted 

automatically depending on light sources or 
scenes. If so, manually adjust these settings. 
(

l 70, 72)

White balance adjustment recognises the colour 
of light and adjusts so the white colour will 
become a purer white. The unit determines the 
hue of light, thereby judging the recording 
condition, and selects the closest hue setting.

The illustration above shows the range over 
which the auto white balance functions.
1) The effective range of automatic white 

balance adjustment on this unit

2) Blue sky
3) Cloudy sky (rain)
4) TV screen
5) Sunlight
6) White fluorescent lamp
7) Halogen light bulb
8) Incandescent light bulb
9) Sunrise or sunset
10) Candlelight
Automatic white balance adjustment does not 
function normally when there are multiple light 
sources or the light source is other than the 
stored white balance. In such cases, use the 
manual white balance adjustment mode.

The lens is moved forward or backward 
automatically to bring the subject into focus.
Auto focus has the following characteristics.

jAdjusts so that the vertical lines of a subject 

are seen more clearly.

jAttempts to bring an object with higher 

contrast into focus.
