Note
•
Due to conditions such as the ones below, a different scene may be identified for the same
subject.
– Subject conditions: When the face is bright or dark, the size of the subject, the colour of the
subject, the distance to the subject, the contrast of the subject, when the subject is moving
– Recording conditions: Sunset, sunrise, under low brightness conditions, when the camera is
shaken, when zoom is used
• To take pictures in an intended scene, it is recommended that you take pictures in the
appropriate Recording Mode.
• The Backlight Compensation
– 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. Backlight compensation is automatically applied in Intelligent Auto
Mode.
