ISO Sensitivity [SENSITIVITY] Aspect Ratio [ASPECT RATIO]

ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity to light in values. If you set the ISO sensitivity higher, the camera becomes more suitable for recording in dark places.

•When [AUTO] is selected, the ISO sensitivity automatically increases to a maximum of [ISO200] (or [ISO400] when the flash is activated) depending on the brightness.

•In simple mode [], motion picture mode [ ] or scene mode, ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO]. (In [NIGHT SCENERY]

(P58), [SOFT SKIN] (P60) and [STARRY SKY] (P62) in scene mode, it is fixed to [ISO80].)

•To avoid picture noise, we recommend decreasing the ISO sensitivity or setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P75)

The aspect ratio is the horizontal to vertical ratio of a picture.

You can select from three aspect ratios.

Normal ratio.

The screen becomes slight oblong in shape. Pictures are taken using the 3:2 aspect ratio, the same as for 35 mm film.

The picture is horizontally long. This is suited for landscapes and other subjects where you prefer a wide view. This is also suited for playing back on wide-screen TVs and high-definition TVs.

•The ends of the recorded pictures may be cut at printing. Check the picture in advance. (P108)
