Portrait
When shooting subjects, always get the right shot as the camera automatically optimises focus, exposure and skin tone.

Landscape
When shooting landscapes, the setting are optimised for an evenly-lit background with the right exposure.

Backlight
When shooting against the sunlight or other lighted background, the foreground is brightened with the right exposure for an evenly-lit image.

Backlight & Portraits
When shooting against the sunlight or other lighted background, the subject in the foreground is brightened with the right exposure for an evenly-lit image.

Twilight
When shooting at night or in low-light situations, the camera compensates for the lack of light to give you a sharper, well-lit image.

Twilight & Portraits
When shooting portrait shots at night or in low-light situations, the camera compensates for the lack of light to give you a sharper, well-lit image.

Twilight with Tripod
When shooting in low-light situations with the camera placed on a flat surface or on a tripod, noise is automatically suppressed for a clearer image.

Note: Some images are simulated and some settings might not be available in all models.

Users will especially appreciate the ability of Intelligent Scene Recognition to identify and deal with tricky photo situations. In backlit and dark environments, the Cyber-shot automatically takes two shots, giving you the opportunity to choose the one that best suits your taste.

Intelligent Scene Recognition has two different modes, Advanced and Auto. Advanced mode takes two shots, one with the standard automatic settings and the other with optimised automatic settings. Auto mode takes a single shot with optimised automatic settings.

Auto Mode
The camera determines the optimised settings for the scene and takes only one picture.

Advanced Mode
When the camera identifies a difficult shooting environment such as a backlit or twilight scene, it takes an additional shot using a different setting.
