recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce
images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using Backlight Correction HDR technology
and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33
scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.
