[i.Exposure]
Automatically adjusts contrast and exposure to give more lifelike colors when there is
significant contrast between background and subject.
ŶRecording Mode:
ŶSettings: [LOW]/[STANDARD]/[HIGH]/[OFF]

Ɣ[LOW], [STANDARD] and [HIGH] indicate the maximum range of correction.

ƔWhen [i.Exposure] works, the color of changes.

ƔEven if [Sensitivity] is set to [100], when [i.Exposure] is activated, pictures may be taken

at a higher ISO sensitivity than the setting.
[Min. Shtr Speed]
Sets shutter speed to minimum. We recommend using slower shutter speeds to take
brighter pictures in dark locations.
ŶRecording Mode:
ŶSettings: [AUTO] [1/250] [1/125] [1/60] [1/30] [1/15] [1/8] [1/4] [1/2] [1]

ƔSlower shutter speeds allow for brighter pictures but increase risk of jitter, so we

recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.

ƔAs 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).

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

[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.
ŶRecording Mode:
ŶSettings: [ON]/[i.ZOOM]/[OFF]

ƔAbout i.ZOOM (ĺ34)

ƔThe setting is fixed to [i.ZOOM] in ([Intelligent Auto] Mode).

ƔThe 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.
[Quick AF]
Focus is continually aligned according to movement of subject when camera blurring is
small even when shutter button is not pressed. (Increases battery consumption)
ŶRecording Mode:
ŶSettings: [ON]/[OFF]

ƔFocus alignment may take time if zoom is suddenly changed from max. W to max. T, or

if suddenly moving closer to subject.

ƔPress shutter button halfway if focus is difficult to align.

ƔThe function will turn [OFF] in the following cases.

In Scene Modes [Night Portrait], [Night Scenery], [Starry Sky] or [Fireworks]

Ɣ[Quick AF] will not work while AF Tracking is operating.
