Shooting Features

Using A (Auto) Mode

Used for general shooting. Settings can be adjusted in the shooting menu (

A39)

to suit the shooting conditions and the type of shot you want to capture.

• If the camera detects a human face, the camera

automatically focuses on it (see “Face Detection”
(

A68) for more information).

• If no faces are detected, the camera automatically

selects one or more of the nine focus areas
containing the subject closest to the camera. When
the subject is in focus, the focus area (active focus
area) lights in green (maximum of nine areas).

• At the default setting, the shutter can be released by simply tapping a subject in

the monitor (

A39) without pressing the shutter-release button.

The Touch shutter option can be changed to the Touch AF/AE option, which
allows the camera to set the focus and exposure on the subject that is tapped
on the monitor (touch shutter) (

A39).

• The Subject tracking option, which moves the active focus area to track the

registered subject, can be enabled (

A39).

Adjusting the A (Auto) Mode Settings

A54) for more

information.

are displayed. See “Options Available in the Auto Shooting Menu” (
