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.
