Scene Recognition
The camera automatically detects shooting conditions, and then takes the shot. When a motion is detected, the ISO sensitivity is increased according to the movement to reduce subject blur (Motion Detection).
The camera recognizes the following types of scenes. When the camera determines the optimal scene, it displays the corresponding icon and guide.
(Twilight), (Twilight Portrait), (Twilight using a tripod), (Backlight), (Backlight Portrait), (Landscape), (Macro), (Close Focus), (Portrait)
