    the Scene mode has been identified as [ ], the shutter speed will be set to a maximum of 
    8 seconds. Take care not to move the camera while taking pictures.
    ∫ Face detection
    When [ ] or [ ] is selected, the camera automatically detects a person’s face, and it will 
    adjust the focus and exposure (P63).
    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 distance to the subject, The contrast of the subject, 
    When the subject is moving, When zoom is used
    – Recording conditions: Sunset, Sunrise, Under low brightness  conditions, When the camera is shaken
    • 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. 
    Press the shutter button fully (push it in 
    further), and take the picture.
