Manual
Used when light source cannot be specified. Press the Shutter button for the
camera to automatically adjust the appropriate white balance setting according
to the environment.
ISO
This sets the sensitivity of the sensor for capturing photos
to compensate for various lighting situations. When the
sensitivity is raised (and the ISO value is increased),
photography in dark or dim lit locations are improved.
However, this may result in a more pixelated (grainier)
photo.
Use a higher ISO setting in dim conditions and a lower •
ISO setting in brighter conditions. Read the text at the
top to assist in determining the desired result.
Available settings are: Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, •
3200 <3M>, 6400 <3M>.
If the Stabilizer is enabled, ISO is automatically set to Auto and cannot be adjusted.
To adjust ISO disable Stabilizer first.
Metering
The Metering function allows adjustment to select the area
of the subject or frame by which the camera measures light
to record still images or video.
As adjustments to the settings are made, the LCD •
screen synchronously displays the image applying the
metering settings. Press the OK button
to save
and apply changes.
Below is a table with a description of the different •
settings.
