[I.EXPOSURE]
Automatically adjusts contrast and exposure to give more lifelike colours when there is
significant contrast between background and subject.
■Recording Mode:
■Settings: [OFF]/[LOW]/[STANDARD]/[HIGH]
●[LOW], [STANDARD] and [HIGH] indicate the amount of correction.
●If the setting is other than [OFF], is displayed on the screen.
●When [I.EXPOSURE] works, the colour of changes.
●Even if [SENSITIVITY] is set to [80] or [100], when [I.EXPOSURE] is activated, pictures
may be taken at a higher sensitivity than the setting.
●Correction effects may not be achieved under certain conditions.
[MIN. SHTR SPEED]
Sets shutter speed to minimum. We recommend using slower shutter speeds to take
brighter pictures in dark locations.
■Recording Mode:
■Settings: [AUTO] [1/250] [1/125] [1/60] [1/30] [1/15] [1/8] [1/4] [1/2] [1]
●Slower shutter speeds allow for brighter pictures but increase risk of jitter, so we
recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
●As still pictures may become dark when using faster values such as [1/250], we
recommend that still pictures are taken in bright locations ( flashes red when shutter
button is half-pressed if still picture will be dark).
● displayed on screen for settings other than [AUTO].
[BURST]
Enables a rapid succession of still pictures to be taken. Succession of still pictures taken
while shutter button is held down.
■Recording Mode:
■Settings:
[BURST] setting
Speed No. of pictures∗
[OFF] No burst
(Burst) 2.3 pictures/sec. Fine: Max. 3
Standard: Max. 5
∗ When using self-timer: Fixed at 3 pictures
●Focus, exposure and White Balance are fixed in the first picture.
●Burst speed may be reduced if [SENSITIVITY] is set to high, or if shutter speed is
reduced in darker locations.
●When burst setting is used, flash is set to [FORCED FLASH OFF], and [AUTO
BRACKET], [MULTI ASPECT], and [AUDIO REC.] settings are cancelled.
●When burst is performed with the built-in memory, writing will take some time.
●Settings will be stored even if power is turned off.
●Auto Review performed regardless of [AUTO REVIEW] setting.
●Burst is not available in the Scene Modes [TRANSFORM], [PANORAMA ASSIST], [HI-
SPEED BURST], [FLASH BURST], [STARRY SKY], [PIN HOLE], [FILM GRAIN], [HIGH
DYNAMIC],and [PHOTO FRAME].
●Using the [HI-SPEED BURST] Scene Mode allows a faster succession of still pictures
to be taken. [FLASH BURST] is convenient to take continuous still pictures using flash
in dark places.
[I.RESOLUTION]
Super resolution technology can be used to record still pictures with sharper outlines and
clearer resolution. Also, when [i.ZOOM] is set, the zoom ratio can be increased to about
1.3 with almost no deterioration of picture quality.
■Recording Mode:
■Settings: [OFF]/[ON]/[i.ZOOM]
●About i.ZOOM (→41)
●The setting is fixed to [i.ZOOM] in ([INTELLIGENT AUTO] Mode) and
([CLIPBOARD] Mode).
●The setting is fixed to [ON] in [HIGH SENS.] and [HI-SPEED BURST] Scene Modes,
[OFF] in [FLASH BURST] and [PIN HOLE] Scene Modes, and [i.ZOOM] in other Scene
Modes.
