Correcting Image Brightness (i-Contrast)
Still Images

Before shooting, excessively bright or dark image areas (such as faces or
backgrounds) can be detected and automatically adjusted to the optimal
brightness. Insufcient overall image contrast can also be automatically
corrected before shooting to make subjects stand out better.
● Press the [
] button, choose
[i-Contrast] on the [ ] tab, and then
choose [Auto] (
=
27).
● Once the setting is complete, [
] is
displayed.
● Under some shooting conditions, correction may be inaccurate or
may cause images to appear grainy.
● You can also correct existing images (
=
90).

Automatically adjusts the ISO speed to suit the
shooting mode and conditions.
100, 200 Low
For shooting outdoors in fair
weather.
400, 800 Slightly Low
For shooting in cloudy conditions,
or at twilight.
1600, 3200 Slightly High
For shooting night scenes, or in
dark rooms.
● To view the automatically determined ISO speed when you have
set the ISO speed to [AUTO], press the shutter button halfway.
● Although choosing a lower ISO speed may reduce image
graininess, there may be a greater risk of subject and camera
shake in some shooting conditions.
● Choosing a higher ISO speed will increase shutter speed, which
may reduce subject and camera shake and increase the ash
range. However, shots may look grainy.
