Casio EX-Z3000 .Shooting with Premium Auto

.Shooting with Premium Auto

•In addition to shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity, the camera automatically executes the following operation as required when shooting with Premium Auto.

–Auto Focus is normally performed until you half-press the shutter button.

–The camera automatically determines the focus point on the screen and focuses there.

–When shooting people, the face detection feature detects the faces of up to ten individuals and adjusts focus and brightness accordingly.

•Shooting with Premium Auto can cause vibration and noise to occur due to lens operation. This does not indicate malfunction.

•When shooting with Premium Auto, the message “Processing Premium Auto. Please wait...” may appear on the monitor screen. If you feel the camera is taking too long to process data, try shooting with standard Auto instead.

•In some cases, Premium Auto may not be able to interpret the shooting environment correctly. If this happens, shoot with standard Auto.
