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 [ISO80] to [ISO400] when using the flash.)

•In auto mode [ ], motion picture mode [ ] and scene mode (P71), ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO]. (In [NIGHT

SCENERY] (P74), [SOFT SKIN] (P76), [STARRY SKY] (P79) and [PANNING] (P80) in scene mode, 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. (P92)

•Refer to P68 for the shutter speed.

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

You can select from three aspect ratios depending on a purpose.

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 that 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. (P135)
