What is the difference between Superior Auto and
z
Intelligent Auto?
In Superior Auto mode, the camera shoots continuously according to the recognized scene
and makes a composite image (Composite shooting). This allows the camera to perform
back-lit compensation and noise reduction automatically, and also obtain a higher quality
image than Intelligent Auto.
However, the recording process takes longer than normal when making a composite image.
