Recording pictures (advanced)
68
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
[ISO80] 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./
Red-eye reduction [ ].)
•In motion image mode [ ] or scene
mode (P56), 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 [ISO80].)
•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.
(P73)
•Refer to P53 for the shutter speed.
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
(2560k1920 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 P93.
•Both ends of the pic tures recorded using
[HDTV] mode may be cut off in printing.
Check the picture before printing. (P108)
•In motion image m ode [ ], the picture
size is fixed to 320k240pixels.
•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 P16 for the number of recordable
