### On Scene Recognition

Scene Recognition operates in Easy Mode. This function lets the camera automatically recognize the shooting conditions and shoot the image.
In Scene Recognition, the position of an icon displayed on the LCD screen is different depending on the circumstances. It depends on whether the camera recognizes a scene or condition.
If the camera recognizes a scene, icons such as (Portrait), (Infant), (Twilight Portrait), (Twilight ), (Backlight Portrait), (Backlight), (Landscape), (Macro), (Spotlight) or (Low Light) are displayed on the first line. If the camera recognizes a condition, icons such as (Tripod), (Move) or (Walk) are displayed on the second line. The camera may recognize both the scene and condition, or just one.
For details, see “Scene Recognition.” [Details]
