White balance

Your camera adjusts the white balance of each scene automatically. However, the images that your camera captures will appear different under different light- ing conditions (daylight, cloudy, sunset, tungsten, fluorescent lights). Unlike your eyes, which can easily adjust to different lighting conditions (lighting temperatures), a digital camera cannot always differentiate between lighting types. Under some lighting conditions the image may appear in strange shades. If that occurs you may change the white balance setting by specifying a lighting condition (temperature) most appropriate for your scene. To set the white balance, first press the button. Then choose the white balance you prefer by using the / but- ton and press OK.

Digital zoom

You can take shots with the digital zoom by activating the digital zoom function. To enable this option, first press the button. Then select [On] by using the / button and press OK.

ISO

The ISO speed decides the sensitivity to the lights. The higher the ISO number is, the more sensitive it is to the lights. When recording under dark situations or re- cording a fast-moving subject, use a high-number setting. When recording high- quality images, use a low-number setting. To set the ISO speed, first press the button. Then choose the ISO speed you prefer by using the / button and press OK.
