Menus specific to Intelligent Auto Mode

[Color Mode]

[Color Mode] can set the color effects of [STANDARD], [Happy], [B&W] or [SEPIA]. When [Happy] is selected, it is possible to automatically take a picture with a higher level of brilliance for the color brightness and vividness.

[Motion Deblur]

When [Motion Deblur] is set to [ON], [ ] is displayed on the recording screen as you press the shutter button halfway. To reduce blur on the subject, the camera automatically sets an optimal shutter speed according to the subject's motion. (In such a case, the number of pixels may decrease.)

[iHandheld Nite Shot]

When [iHandheld Nite Shot] is set to [ON] and [ ] is detected while taking handheld night shots, pictures of the night scenery will be taken at a high burst speed and composed into a single picture. This mode is useful if you want to take stunning night shots with minimal jitter and noise, without using a tripod. If the camera is mounted on a tripod or other type of stand, [ ] will not be detected.

[iHDR]

When [iHDR] is set to [ON] and there is, for example, strong contrast between the background and the subject, multiple still pictures are recorded with differing exposures and combined to create a single still picture rich in gradation.

When [ ] is displayed on the screen but not otherwise, the iHDR function will work automatically as required.

In the case that a single picture is going to be composed from a burst, a message indicating that multiple pictures are to be recorded appears on the screen and burst recording is carried out. Note that burst recording will not take place if the camera determines that it can compensate for the difference in contrast without composing the picture from a burst.

In the case of composition from a burst, ghost images may appear if the subject was moving.

In the following cases, a compensated picture is not created.

When the zoom factor exceeds 24k.

When recording in [Burst].
