Tips and Notes About Scene Mode
y M x Scene auto selector
• When you point the camera at the subject, the camera automatically recognizes the
shooting conditions and adjusts the shooting settings accordingly.
• Under some shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired settings. In
this case, select another shooting mode (A33).
• If human faces are detected when the picture is taken, the camera softens the facial skin
tones using the skin softening function (A42).
y M d Sports
• While the shutter-release button is held all the way down, images are captured
continuously.
• The camera can capture up to about 7 images continuously at a rate of about 7 fps
(when set to Normal (image quality) and a 5184×3888 (image size)).
• The frame rate for continuous shooting may become slow depending on the current
image quality setting, image size setting, the memory card used, or shooting
conditions.
• Focus, exposure, and hue for the second and subsequent images are fixed at the values
determined with the first image.
