Picture Eect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits
come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select models have up to
nine eects.
Intelligent Auto Mode
Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you, recognizing scenes,
lighting conditions, faces, and adjusts settings resulting in clear images, faces with natural skin
tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology without leaving Auto mode. Kids on
the playground, landscape shots, a beautiful ower or an indoor birthday party; result in clear
images without leaving auto mode.
Face Detection technology
Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and
white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
Smile Shutter™ technology
Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile
Shutter™ button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and
indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be
used together with Smile Shutter™ mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that
beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in dicult
conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
Anti-blink Function
It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked
during the photo. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the
camera is set to So Snap, 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 aer
you take the shot.
So Skin mode
Portrait subjects will love the results. So Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the
appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without aecting the rest of the shot.
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects seven dierent 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 Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and,
if in dicult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another
optimized setting so you can choose which to keep.
Natural Flash
Conventional point-and-shoot camera ash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees
them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without ash and then uses that reference to
correct the color, for far more lifelike images
Dynamic Range Optimizer
Standard and Plus
Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to help
recover shadows and highlights. The result is more natural images with clearer details that more
closely match what your naked eye sees. DRO is particularly eective when shooting backlit
portraits or any scene with a dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting.
DRO Plus allows for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and
performing additional image processing.
