Using the Menus: Shooting Mode
Control the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at settings above 1600. If AUTO or an option such as AUTO (1600) is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions. In the case of AUTO
(1600), AUTO (800), and AUTO (400), the value in parentheses is the maximum sensitivity that will be selected when the subject is poorly lit.
Settings other than AUTO
ISO 100
are shown by an icon in the display.
Choose the size and aspect ratio at which still pictures are recorded. Large pictures can be printed at large sizes with no drop in quality; small pictures require less memory, allowing more pictures to be recorded.
