Northern Industrial Tools S500 Frame a Picture, Digital Zoom, High-sensitivity Shooting Mode

Step 2 Frame a Picture

jDigital Zoom

Unlike optical zoom, data from the camera’s image sensor are processed digitally with digital zoom. Details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.

lHigh-sensitivity Shooting Mode

In high-sensitivity shooting mode (c 33), sensitivity is increased to reduce blurring caused by camera shake or subject movement under low lighting.

lAnti-shake Mode

In anti-shake mode (c 42), [Vibration reduction] (c 107) and [BSS] (best shot selector) (c 88) are enabled to reduce blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement, and the flash is disabled. With [BSS] enabled, the camera takes shots to a maximum of ten, they are compared, and the sharpest picture (picture with the highest level of detail) is saved. A higher sensitivity is set, and the shutter speed will be faster, even for shooting subjects in the same brightness, than in L (auto) mode. This mode is not suited to shooting under low lighting, but is suited to shooting under natural light when the camera is zoomed in.
