Intelligent Scene

( iSCN ) Recognition
Thanks to enhanced "Intelligent Scene
Recognition", the camera recognizes a multitude
of different patterns of scenes then chooses the
automatic mode that best matches the shooting
scene. "Superior Auto" not only recognizes
scenes but also senses conditions, detecting and
analyzing subject and motion to allow automatic
choice of optimal shooting method, exposure,
flash control, white balance and tint.

Intelligent Auto

( iAuto ) Mode
When you choose "Intelligent Auto" mode,
advanced "Intelligent Scene Recognition" is
activated. The camera recognizes up to 36 kinds
of scenes for still image shooting and up to 44
kinds of scenes for movie shooting, optimizing
camera settings. Since an icon blinks at the
top-left corner of screen when the camera
recognizes a type of scene, users can tell
immediately at a glance that "Intelligent
Scene Recognition" is active.
Note: Advanced mode of Intelligent Scene Recognition can
be selected from the menu.
