What is the difference between [Superior Auto] and
[Intelligent Auto]?
In [Superior Auto] mode, the camera shoots continuously according to the recognized scene
and makes a composite image (Composite shooting). This allows the camera to perform
back-lit compensation and noise reduction automatically, and also obtain a higher quality
image than [Intelligent Auto].
However, the recording process takes longer than normal when making a composite image.
