## Superior Auto

The camera combines Scene Recognition and high-quality image technology to automatically shoot images with the optimal settings.
For details on the Scene Recognition function, see “Scene Recognition.” [Details]

1. Set the mode dial to (Superior Auto).

1. Shoot with the shutter button.

The camera shoots burst images when needed and overlays the multiple images. By overlaying the images, the camera records an image with less subject blur and noise.
What is the difference between [Superior Auto] mode and [Intelligent Auto] mode?
In [Superior Auto] mode, the camera shoots burst images based on the recognized scene, then creates a composite of the burst images (Overlay shooting).
The camera automatically corrects the backlight and reduces the noise by overlaying images, so a higher-quality image results than in [Intelligent Auto] mode.

- The camera automatically selects an overlaying mode based on the recognized scene, and (overlay) appears on the screen.

Notes

- When the camera overlays the images, it takes more time to record an image.

- In low light conditions such as night scenes, set [Flash Mode] to [Flash Off] to achieve the optimal effect of the overlaid images.

- When [Quality] is set to [RAW] or [RAW & JPEG], the camera does not overlay the images.
