The S2980 comes equipped with SR AUTO, an auto scene-recognition function that ensures the settings are optimal for your photo so you get the best shot every time.
Framed scenes are automatically detected and the appropriate camera setting is selected from Portrait, Landscape, Night, Macro, Night Portrait and Backlit Portrait.
Recognizes portraits by detecting the faces quickly in the frame and optimizing focus, brightness and white balance.
Scenic shots such as mountains and buildings are automatically recognized. Colours of the sky, forests and flower gardens are captured in vivid colour and depth.

For low-light and night-time scenarios, shutter speed and sensitivity are automatically adjusted, producing blur-free pictures with minimal noise.
Macro mode sets the focusing position so that the details of small flowers or tiny subjects are captured accurately.
When photographing people at night or in low light, SR AUTO optimizes flash range, shutter speed, and exposure of the portraits, while capturing smooth and luminous background.
Optimizes the brightness of faces that usually end up in shadow and underexposed because of the light behind your subject.
