Intelligent Scene Recognition:
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN)
Mode automatically detects eight
different types of scenes and, within just
1/30th of a second, selects the
appropriate camera settings: Backlight,
Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight
Portrait, Twilight using a Tripod, Portrait,
Landscape, and Macro. iSCN has two
modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto
Mode, the camera takes a single shot
using the optimal settings. In Advance
Mode, the camera takes a photo with
the standard automatic settings and, if
in difficult lighting (low light or back
light) immediately takes a second
photo with optimized setting so you
can chose which to keep.
Face Detection technology:
Face Detection technology detects up
to eight individual faces and controls
flash, focus, exposure, and white
balance to deliver accurate, natural
skin tones with reduced red - eye. It can
also give priority to children or adults.
Newly added Face Motion Detection
adjusts ISO sensitivity and accelerates
the shutter speed when facial
movement is detected, reducing blur in
the subjects face.
Selected Face Memory::
Optimizing focus, exposure, and white
balance for a specific face is easier
now with selectable facial memory,
even when the subject leaves the frame.
This feature is perfect at weddings and
other events the goal is always to focus
on a certain person.
Anti - blink Function:
It's frustrating to think you've captured
that perfect shot, only to review it later
and discover one of your subjects
blinked just as you pressed the shutter.
The Anti -blink function works to help
counter blinking and squinting. When
the camera is set to Portrait, the Anti -
blink function captures two images,
recording only the photo with less
squinting. If a blink is detected in other
shooting modes, a warning will be
displayed after you take the shot.
