• The area of the frame that the camera focuses on (AF area) depends on the composition of the
image. When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A68).
• When the camera selects g (night landscape), flash mode is fixed at W (off), regardless of the
setting made, and the camera captures one image at a slower shutter speed.
• Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode.
Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode (A26) or select the desired scene mode manually
(A40).
• Digital zoom is not available.
