Auto
This is the standard Auto recording mode.
• It provides faster operation than Premium Auto recording.
Premium Auto
With Premium Auto recording, the camera automatically
determines whether you are shooting a subject or scenery,
and other conditions. Premium Auto recording delivers higher
image quality than standard Auto recording.
• Premium Auto recording takes longer to process image data
after it is shot than Auto recording.
• It also requires more power (and runs down the battery
quicker) than Auto.
