Smart AUTO icons
• Under certain conditions, the Smart AUTO icon that appears
on the screen may not match the actual scene. Especially
when shooting against orange or blue backgrounds, the Sun-
set or one of the Blue Skies icons may appear and the colors
may not look natural. In such case, we recommend recording
in ’ mode (A 93).
•There are times when the Smart AUTO function cannot detect
the scene, for example when you touch a subject on the
screen (tracking). In such case, N will be displayed as the
Smart AUTO icon.
