[28] How to Use Shooting Selecting a shooting mode
The advantages of automatic shooting
In [Superior Auto] mode, the product shoots with higher quality than [Intelligent Auto] mode
and performs composite shooting as necessary.
In [Program Auto] mode, you can shoot after adjusting various functions, such as white
balance, ISO, etc.
(Intelligent Auto):
Select this mode when you want the camera automatically recognize the scene.
(Superior Auto):
Select this mode to shoot scenes under difficult circumstances, such as when it is dark or the
subjects are back-lit. Select this mode to shoot a higher quality image than that provided by
(Intelligent Auto).
P (Program Auto):
Select this mode to shoot with various functions other than the exposure (shutter speed and
aperture) adjusted.
Note
In [Intelligent Auto] mode, you may not be able to shoot dark scenes or back-lit subjects
clearly.
In [Superior Auto] mode, the recording process takes longer, since the product creates a
composite image.
