High-Sensitivity Shooting Mode

Shooting in High-Sensitivity Shooting Mode

In high-sensitivity shooting mode, sensitivity is increased when shooting under low lighting, to reduce blurring caused by camera shake or subject movement, allowing you to capture the atmosphere of the scene. ISO sensitivity will be automatically increased to a maximum of 1600, depending upon the brightness of the subject.

1Rotate the mode dial to B.

Mode Shooting Sensitivity-High

2Frame the subject and take the

picture.

When a face looking toward the camera is recognized, the camera will focus on the face surrounded by a double border by default.

When taking pictures of subjects other than people, or framing a subject with which no

face is recognized, the camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine) containing the subject closest to the camera.

See AF area mode (A86) and “Shooting with Face-Priority” (A87) for more information about face priority.
