in Power LCD mode. Press any button to make the LCD monitor bright again.

•If the screen is difficult to see because of light from the sun etc. shining on it, use your hand or

another object to block the light.

•The [PATTERN] setting is fixed to [ ] in the Intelligent auto mode.

[HIGHLIGHT]

When the auto review function is activated, white saturated areas

appear blinking in black and white.

[OFF]/[ON]

•If there are any white saturated areas, we recommend

compensating the exposure towards negative (P43)

referring to the histogram (P37) and then taking the

picture again. It may result in a better quality picture.

•There may be white saturated areas if the distance

between the camera and the subject is too close when

taking pictures with the flash.

If [HIGHLIGHT] is set to [ON] in this case, the area

directly illuminated by the photo flash will become white

saturated and appear blinking in black and white.
