REC Mode When to use
(Intelligent
Auto)
Use when you want the camera to automatically recognize the shooting conditions and
shoot some images continuously.
(Superior
Auto)
Use when you shoot images under difficult conditions, such as low light or backlit
scenes.
Use when you want to shoot a higher-quality image than in
(Intelligent Auto)
mode.
(Program
Auto)
Use when you want to shoot using customized shooting settings with the exposure
(both the shutter speed and the aperture value) adjusted automatically.
Notes
In [Intelligent Auto] mode, you may be unable to shoot low light or backlit scenes clearly.
In [Superior Auto] mode, it takes some time to record an image, because the camera overlays the
images.
