Natural Flash

Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees 

them.  Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to 

correct the color, for far more lifelike images.

Self-Portrait Timer

Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of self portraits by utilizing Face Detection 

technology to recognize when your face enters the frame. Once the camera detects your face, 

it triggers a 2-second timer, and then snaps a picture.

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 Soft 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 after 

you take the shot. 

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 effective 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.

Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode

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 Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, 

if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another 

optimized setting so you can choose which to keep.

High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200)

High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the 

need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to seven ISO settings 

(Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to 

your shooting conditions.
