• [4] is set if none of the scenes are applicable, and the standard settings are set.

• If a tripod is used, for instance, and the camera has judged that camera shake is 

minimal when the Scene Mode has been identifi ed as [1], the shutter speed will be 

set to a maximum of 8 seconds. Take care not to move the camera while taking pictures.

When [3] or [5] is selected, the camera automatically detects 

a person’s face, and it will adjust the focus and exposure (P57).

• Due to conditions such as the ones below, a different scene may 

be identifi ed for the same subject.

– Subject conditions: When the face is bright or dark, The size of 

the subject, The distance to the subject, The contrast of the subject, When the subject 

is moving, When zoom is used

– Recording conditions: Sunset, Sunrise, Under low brightness conditions, When the 

camera is shaken

• To take pictures in an intended scene, it is recommended that you take pictures in the 

appropriate Recording Mode.

Backlight refers to when light comes from the back of a subject.

In this case, the subject will become dark, so this function compensates the backlight by 

brightening the whole of the picture automatically.
