Cautions for the <SCN> Modes on the EOS RP

Solution

: Group Photo
  The angle of view changes slightly, due to distortion correction.
  Depending on the shooting conditions, focus may not be attained for everyone from the front to the back.
  : Sports
  Under low light where camera shake tends to occur, the shutter speed value in the lower left will blink. Hold the camera steady and shoot.
  Using an external Speedlite will decrease the continuous shooting speed.
  : Kids
  Using an external Speedlite will decrease the continuous shooting speed.
  : Panning
  The shutter speed will become slower. Therefore, this mode is not suitable for any shooting except for panning.
  By default, <> is set. Note that <> cannot be selected.
  External Speedlites cannot be used. (It will not fire).
  Although lens IS is applied to images captured with lenses supporting <> mode, the effect is not shown on the screen as you shoot. (IS and subject blur correction are activated when you shoot, regardless of the lens IS setting.)
  If the lens does not support the <> mode, subject blur will not be corrected.
However, the automatic shutter speed adjustment alone will take effect according to the setting of [Effect].
  When shooting under bright light such as a sunny summer day or when shooting a slow subject, the set degree of panning effect may not be obtained.
  When a lens supporting the <> mode, subject blur may not be corrected properly when shooting the following subjects or under the following shooting conditions.
  • Subjects with very low contrast.
  • Subjects in low light.
  • Stongly backlit or reflective subjects.
  • Subjects with repetitive patterns.
  • Subjects with less patterns or monotonous patterns.
  • Subjects with reflections (images reflected in glass, etc.).
  • Subjects smaller than the Zone AF frame.
  • When there are multiple subjects moving within the Zone AF frame.
  • Subjects moving in irregular directions or at irregular speeds.
  • Subjects whose movements are partly irregular. (For example, the vertical movement of a runner.)
  • Subjects whose speed changes dramatically. (For example, right after the start of movement or while turning along a curve.)
  • When you move the camera too fast or too slow.
  • When the camera's movement does not match the subject's movement.
  : Food
  The warm color cast of subjects may fade.
  When multiple light sources are included in the scene, the warm color cast of the picture may not be reduced.
  If you use an external Speedlite, [Color tone] will be set to Standard.
  If there are people in the picture, the skin tone may not be reproduced properly.
  : Night Portrait
  Tell subjects to remain still for a moment after the flash fires.
  Focusing may be difficult when subject faces look dark. In this case, set the lens's focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.
  Autofocusing at night or in dark scenes may be difficult when points of light lie within the AF point. In this case, set the lens's focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.
  Shots will look slightly different from the image as displayed on the screen.
  : Handheld Night Scene
  Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
  RAW image quality cannot be set.
  Autofocusing at night or in dark scenes may be difficult when points of light lie within the AF point. In this case, set the lens's focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.
  Shots will look slightly different from the image as displayed on the screen.
  If you use an external Speedlite and the subject is close, overexposure may result.
  If you use an external Speedlite for a night scene with limited lighting, the shots may not align correctly. This may result in a blurry picture.
  If you use an external Speedlite with a human subject close to the background that is also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This may result in a blurry picture. Unnatural shadows and unsuitable colors may also appear.
  Flash coverage angle with an external Speedlite:
  • When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the zoom position will be fixed to the wide (wide-angle) end regardless of the lens's zoom position.
  • When using a Speedlite requiring manual flash coverage setting, set the flash head to the normal position.
  If you shoot a moving subject, the subject's movement may leave afterimages or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
  The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due to camera shake.
  It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after shooting. [BUSY] is displayed as imagesare processed, and shooting is not possible until processing is finished.
  : HDR Backlight Control
  Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
  RAW image quality ccannot be set.
  External Speedlites cannot be used. (It will not fire).
  Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.
  HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit scenes or extremely high-contrast scenes.
  When shooting subjects that are sufficiently bright as they are, for example for normally lit scenes, the image may look unnatural due to the HDR effect.
  If you shoot a moving subject, the subject's movement may leave afterimages or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
  The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-toned images, or images significantly misaligned due to camera shake.
  It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after shooting. [BUSY] is displayedas images are processed, and shooting is not possible until processing is finished.
  : Silent Mode
  Be responsible when using silent shooting, and respect subject privacy and portrait rights.
  Images of fast-moving subjects may look distorted.
  Continuous shooting and flash photography are not available.
