This eye detection mode is automatic and focusses on the nearest eye to the camera. This method cannot
be changed.
When in this mode the camera adjusts the exposure to give the best image based upon the metering from
the face.
If face recognition has been turned on and faces have been registered if the camera detects a subject
which has been previously registered, then an “R” is displayed on the upper right corner of the display.
The icon could be the i-Portrait, i-Night Portrait or the i-Baby icon depending upon the subject recognised.
If you experience some of your images not being recorded as you saw them at the time of shooting or
images of a similar subject appear to be recorded differently to each other then it is worth having a look at
how the iA+ method recorded them.
Panasonic do state that, in some scene types, you should watch the indicated icon when you shoot in this
mode and if the wrong scene type is detected then you should select the most appropriate mode from the
SCN mode dial setting and menu choice.
To see how the image was detected by the camera, with the memory card still inserted in the camera,
select the green playback button on the back of the camera body.
Using the left or right navigation buttons of the 4-way controller scroll through to the image in question.
The playback mode selected to display image information
When you have selected the image that you want to review you can see how the camera detected the
scene type. In the image above the camera correctly identified that this was a close-up scene and selected
the I-Macro mode and below it identified the i-Landscape mode setting optimal parameters for this scene.
