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, 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.

Easy Shooting Mode

With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great photos. In Easy Shooting Mode, easy-

to-understand basic instructions are displayed on the LCD screen and the camera switches to

all automatic settings, removing several function choices and allowing you to focus on just your

subject. Since this mode works together with Intelligent Scene Recognition, the camera selects

the optimum setting for each scene. In addition the easy mode simplifies preview mode.

In-Camera Retouching Tools

Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Trimming, Red-Eye Correction, and

Unsharp Masking functions.
