Recording pictures (advanced)

ISO Sensitivity [SENSITIVITY]

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 setting to [AUTO], the ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted from [ISO64] to [ISO200] according to the brightness. (It can be adjusted from [ISO100] to [ISO400] when using the flash. However, it is fixed to [ISO100] when the flash mode is set to Slow sync./

In motion image mode [ ] or scene mode (P58), ISO sensitivity is fixed to

[AUTO]. (In [NIGHT SCENERY] and [FIREWORKS] in scene mode, it is fixed to [ISO100], and in [PANNING], it is fixed to [ISO64].)

You cannot select [AUTO] in Aperture-priority AE, Shutter-priority AE and Manual exposure mode.

To avoid picture noises, we recommend reducing the ISO sensitivity, setting [NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ.] to [HIGH] or setting the items except [NOISE REDUCTION] to [LOW] to take pictures. (P75)

Refer to P55 for the shutter speed.

Picture Size [PICT.SIZE]

When you select a smaller picture size (640k480 pixels), you can store more pictures on a card. In addition, it is convenient to attach the picture to an e-mail or post it on a website because the file size is small.

If you select a larger picture size

(2304k1728 pixels), you can print pictures clearly.

For details on how to playback pictures recorded using [HDTV] mode on a High-Definition TV (HDTV has a 16:9 aspect), refer to P92.

Both ends of the pictures recorded using [HDTV] mode may be cut off in printing. Check the picture before printing. (P106)

In motion image mode [ ], the picture size is fixed to 320k240 pixels.

Pictures may appear like a mosaic depending on the subject or the recording condition.

The number of recordable pictures depends on the subject.

The number of remaining pictures may not correspond with recorded frames.

Refer to P18 for the number of recordable pictures.
