Shooting Suited for the Scene - High-sensitivity Shooting Mode, Scene Mode

High-sensitivity Shooting Mode

In high-sensitivity shooting mode, sensitivity is increased with shooting under low lighting to reduce blurring caused by camera shake or subject move- ment, 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.

1 Enter high-sensitivity shooting mode by pressing C in shooting mode, selecting K (use the rotary multi selector), and then pressing d.

jNotes on High-sensitivity Shooting Mode

•This mode reduces effects of camera shake even for shooting under low lighting; however, when shooting without the flash, use of a tripod is recommended. Turn vibration reduction (c 114) off when using a tripod.

•Pictures taken in this mode may become somewhat grainy.

•Focus may not be precisely fixed in extremely dark places.

lHigh-sensitivity Shooting and Anti-shake Modes

Both high-sensitivity shooting mode and anti-shake mode (c 42) reduce blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement. However, high-sensitivity shooting mode is suited for shooting under low lighting. In some circumstances, disabling the flash may make it even easier to capture the true essence of the scene.

In high-sensitivity shooting mode, pressing m displays the high-sensitivity menu. The items available from this menu are the same as those available in the L (auto) mode shooting menu (c 88), except that [ISO sensitivity] is not available in the high-sensitivity menu. Just as with L (auto) mode, the flash, self-timer, macro close-up mode, and exposure compensation are available.

In anti-shake mode, vibration reduction (c 114) and BSS (c 95) are enabled to reduce blurring caused by camera shake or subject movement, and the flash is disabled. Sensitivity is set higher and shutter speed is faster than with L (auto) mode under the same lighting condi- tions. This mode is suited to shooting under natural light when the camera is zoomed in.
