IMPORTANT!

You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want when shooting an image that is very dark or very bright. If this happens, use the M mode to adjust the aperture or shutter speed manually.

Due to the characteristics of the camera’s semiconductor, slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise in images. The camera performs an automatic noise reduction process whenever the shutter speed is 1 second or slower. Storage of images shot at slower shutter speeds takes longer because of the time required for noise reduction. Do not perform any key operation while the image storage operation is in progress.

Due to the characteristics of the imaging element used by the camera, very fast moving objects in an image may appear distorted.

Depending on the shutter speed setting and the recording mode you used, the brightness of what appears on the monitor screen when you record the image may be different from the brightness of the recorded image.

Image AS (page 79) does not work in the S mode and M mode. You can, however, turn on Camera AS, if you like.

When recording with some modes, light source flicker can cause horizontal bands to appear in the image.

Changing the Image Size (Size)

. Pixels

A digital camera image is a collection of small

 

Pixel

dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are

 

 

in an image, the more detail there will be.

 

 

However, you generally can do with fewer

 

 

pixels when printing an image (L size)

 

 

through a print service, attaching an image to

 

 

e-mail, when viewing the image on a

 

 

computer, etc.
