Scene Recognition
Features of Auto shooting modes
Allows you to shoot still images with the settings adjusted automatically.
1. Set the mode dial to
(Intelligent Auto).
2. Shoot with the shutter button.
Scene Recognition
Scene Recognition operates in [Intelligent Auto] 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 screen differs depending on whether the
camera recognizes a scene or condition. If the camera recognizes a scene, icons and guides such as
(Portrait), (Baby), (Night Portrait), (Night Scene), (Backlight Portrait), (Backlight),
(Landscape), (Macro), (Spotlight) or (Low Brightness) 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 a scene and condition, or just one.
Notes
Scene Recognition function does not operate when you use zoom functions other than the optical
zoom.
These scenes may not be recognized depending on the situation.
If the environment causes vibrations to be transferred to the camera even when the camera is fixed
to a tripod,
(Tripod) condition may not be recognized.
Sometimes a slow shutter results when
(Tripod) and (Night Scene) condition are recognized at
the same time. Keep the camera still during shooting.
Features of Auto shooting modes
In [Superior Auto] mode, the camera shoots a higher-quality image than in [Intelligent Auto] mode. The
camera also shoots multiple images based on the recognized scene, then creates a composite of the
multiple images (Overlay shooting).
[Program Auto] mode allows you to change various shooting settings, such as the white balance or ISO
settings.
