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),

(Backlight),

(Backlight Portrait),

(Landscape),

(Macro),

(Portrait)

MENU (REC Mode) (Intelligent Auto) (Scene Recognition) desired mode

(Auto)

When the camera recognizes the scene, it switches to the optimal settings and shoots the image.

(Advanced)

When the camera recognizes the scene, it switches to the optimal settings. When the camera recognizes

(Twilight),

(Twilight Portrait),

When you shoot two images consecutively, the + mark on the icon will turn green.

When two frames are shot, the two images are displayed side by side immediately after shooting.
