Using functions with the mode dial
Intelligent Auto
The camera analyzes the subject, and allows you to shoot with appropriate settings.
• [Flash Mode] is set to [Flash Off], [Autoflash] or [Fill-flash].
• You can shoot even if the camera has not recognized the scene.
• When [Face Detection] is set to [Off], the [Portrait], [Backlight Portrait], [Night Portrait], and [Baby]
scenes are not recognized.
In [Superior Auto] mode, the camera shoots with higher quality than [Intelligent Auto]
mode. The camera performs composite shooting as necessary. Also, the camera
automatically selects an optimal image from the burst images and records it, depending
on the scene.
In [Program Auto] mode, you can shoot after adjusting various functions, such as white
balance, ISO, etc.
• In [Superior Auto] mode, the recording process takes longer, since the camera makes a composite image.
