Image processing
The camera analyzes the subject almost instantly and automatically 
compensates to improve the image quality with the optimal brightness and 
gradation. You can shoot images with the natural color that you intend to 
reproduce.
Notes
• Since the speed of continuous shooting may be slower in 
 (Advanced Auto), we 
recommend that you select 
 (Standard) in situations, including shooting sports 
images you need high speed continuous shooting.

 (Standard)
When there is a high contrast of light and shadow between 
the subject and the background, which is common when 
shooting into the sun, the camera attenuates the contrast 
across the entire image to produce an image with proper 
brightness and contrast.
 (Advanced Auto) By dividing the image into small areas, the camera analyzes 
the contrast of light and shadow between the subject and the 
background, producing the image with the optimal brightness 
and gradation.
 (Advanced: 
Level)
The level is selected between 
 (weak) and 
 (strong).
