Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV - Manual (Page 53)

The advantages of automatic shooting
This camera is equipped with the following three automatic shooting modes: [Intelligent
Auto], [Superior Auto], and [Program Auto].
(Intelligent Auto):
Allows you to shoot with automatic scene recognition.
(Superior Auto):
Allows you to shoot with automatic scene recognition. This mode takes clear images of dark
or backlit scenes.
P (Program Auto):
Allows you to adjust various shooting settings such as white balance or ISO value, etc.
Aperture value and shutter speed are automatically set by the camera.
Hint
In [Superior Auto] mode and when the (overlay icon) is displayed, be sure not to
move the camera before the multiple shots are recorded.
In [Program Auto] mode, you can change the combination of shutter speed and aperture
value while maintaining the correct exposure by turning the control wheel. This function is
called "Program Shift" (
P*).
Note
In [Superior Auto] mode, the recording process takes longer, since the product creates a
composite image. In this case, the (overlay icon) is displayed and the shutter sound
is heard multiple times, but only one image is recorded.
For [Intelligent Auto] and [Superior Auto] mode, most of the functions are set
automatically, and you cannot adjust the settings on your own.
