ISO—adjust the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher ISO indicates greater sensitivity.

NOTE: A higher ISO may produce unwanted “noise” in a picture. ISO 6400 available only in 3.1 MP and lower picture sizes.

Flash Compensation—adjust flash brightness.

Exposure Compensation—adjust the exposure. If the picture is too light, decrease the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.

Shutter speed—control how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)

Aperture—(also known as f-stop) control the size of the lens opening, which determines the depth of field.

■Smaller f-stop numbers indicate a larger lens opening; good for low-light.

■Larger f-stop numbers indicate a smaller lens opening; keeps the main subject sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions.
