Notes
Shooting function

zWhat is the difference between Superior Auto and

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 perfor m
back-lit compensation and noise reduction automatically, and also obtain a higher qu ality
image than Intelligent Auto.
However, the recording process takes longer than normal when making a composite image.
