Scene Recognition (DSC-W730)

Advanced mode

The camera automatically detects shooting conditions, and then takes the shot. When motion is detected, the ISO sensitivity is increased according to the movement to reduce subject blur. When the camera is set to Intelligent Auto mode, you can select [Advanced] mode, in which the camera automatically shoots two images.

In Scene Recognition, the position of an icon displayed on the screen is different depending on the circumstances. It depends on whether the camera recognizes a scene or a condition. If the camera

recognizes a scene, icons and guides such as (Portrait), (Infant), (Night Portrait), (Night Scene), (Backlight Portrait), (Backlight), (Landscape), (Macro), (Spotlight) or (Low Light) are displayed on the first line. If the camera recognizes a condition, icons such as (Tripod) or

(Move) are displayed on the second line. The camera may recognize both a scene and a condition, or just one.

Notes

The Scene Recognition function does not operate when you shoot images using digital zoom. The available flash settings are [Advanced Flash], [Auto] and [Off].

These scenes may not be recognized depending on the situation.

In Tracking focus mode, (Portrait), (Infant), (Night Portrait) or (Backlight Portrait) are not recognized.

If the environment causes vibrations to be transferred to the camera when (Tripod) and (Night

Scene) conditions are recognized at the same time, the (Tripod) conditions may not be recognized.

Sometimes a slow shutter results when (Tripod) and (Night Scene) conditions are recognized at the same time. Keep the camera still while shooting.
