Using the [Rec] menu

[Min. Shtr Speed]

••For [Rec] menu setting procedures (→51)

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 pressed halfway if still picture will be dark).

●● displayed on screen for settings other than [AUTO].

[i.Resolution]

••For [Rec] menu setting procedures (→51)

You can use the camera’s Intelligent Resolution technology to record still pictures with sharper outlines and clearer resolution. Also, when [i.ZOOM] is set, the zoom ratio can be increased two times higher than the original zoom ratio with limited deterioration of picture quality.

Recording mode:

Settings: [ON] / [i.ZOOM] / [OFF]

●●About [i.ZOOM] (→65)

[Digital Zoom]

••For [Rec] menu setting procedures (→51)

Zoom 4 times further than Optical/Extra optical zoom. (Note that enlarging will decrease picture quality with Digital Zoom.)

Recording mode:

Settings: [ON] / [OFF]

●●This is fixed to [ON] when [Macro Zoom] is set.

●●When Digital Zoom is used simultaneously with i.Zoom, you can only increase the zoom ratio up to 2 times.
