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 simple mode [], 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 [ISO80].)

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

•To avoid picture noise, we recommend decreasing the ISO sensitivity or setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P74)

•Refer to P55 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 efficient to attach the picture to an e-mail or post it on a web site because the file size is small. If you select a larger picture size

(2016k1512 pixels), you can print pictures clearly.

•For how to playback pictures recorded using [HDTV] mode on a High-Definition TV (HDTV has a 16:9 aspect), refer to P90.

•Both ends of the pictures recorded using [HDTV] mode may be cut off in printing. Check the picture before printing. (P105)

•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 P16 for the number of recordable pictures.
