Shooting in the High-sensitivity Shooting Mode
In high-sensitivity shooting mode, sensitivity is increased when shooting under
low lighting, to reduce blurring caused by camera shake or subject movement,
allowing you to capture the atmosphere of the scene. ISO sensitivity will be
automatically increased to a maximum of 1600, depending upon the brightness of
the subject.
1 Enter high-sensitivity shooting
mode by pressing e in
shooting mode, selecting B (use
the rotary multi selector), and then
pressing k.
2 Frame the subject and shoot.
When people’s faces (front view) are
recognized the camera will focus on the face
surrounded by a double AF area.
When shooting non-human subjects or when
no faces are recognized the camera
automatically selects the focus area (one of
nine) containing the subject closest to the camera.
See [AF area mode] (A 89) or “Face Priority” (A 91) for more information about Face
Priority.
B Notes on High-sensitivity Shooting Mode
• This mode reduces effects of camera shake even for shooting under low lighting; however, when
shooting without the flash, use of a tripod is recommended. Turn Vibration reduction (A107) [Off]
when using a tripod.
• Pictures taken in this mode may become somewhat grainy.
• Focus may not be precisely fixed in extremely dark places.
