•To avoid picture noise, we recommend decreasing the ISO sensitivity, and/or setting [NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ.] to [HIGH] or setting every item except [NOISE REDUCTION] to [LOW]. (P94).

(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures indoors etc. the ISO sensitivity increases.)

w Program shift

In program AE mode, you can change the preset aperture value and shutter speed without changing the exposure. This is called program shift.

You can make the background more blurred by decreasing the aperture value or record a moving subject more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when taking a picture in program AE mode.

•If the direct exposure compensation function (P93) is activated, the way in which the dial is operated changes. The explanation shows the direct exposure compensation function deactivated as an example.

•Press the shutter button halfway and then rotate the rear dial to activate the Program shift while the aperture value and the shutter speed are displayed on the screen (for about 10 seconds).

•If the exposure is not adequate when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the aperture value and shutter speed turns red.

•Program shift is canceled and the camera returns to normal program AE mode if more than 10 seconds pass after program shift is activated. However, the program shift setting is memorized.

•Depending on the brightness of the subject, program shift may not be activated.

•Program shift cannot be activated when

the ISO sensitivity is set to [ ].

w Tips for taking good pictures

•Hold the camera gently with both hands, keep your arms still at your side and stand with your feet slightly apart.
