High-Sensitivity Shooting Mode
High-Sensitivity Shooting Mode
Shooting in 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 Rotate the mode dial to B.
2 Frame the subject and take the
picture.
When a face looking toward the camera is
recognized, the camera will focus on the face
surrounded by a double border by default.
When taking pictures of subjects other than
people, or framing a subject with which no
face is recognized, the camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera.
See AF area mode (A 86) and “Shooting with Face-Priority” (A 87) 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. Set Vibration reduction (A105) to
Off when using a tripod.
• Pictures taken in this mode may become somewhat grainy.
• Focus may not be precisely fixed in extremely dark places.
• When shooting under low lighting, processing to reduce noise may be performed automatically,
except when Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected for Continuous, increasing the time
required to save pictures.
• When shooting poorly-lit subjects with Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 selected, slower
shutter speeds may not be available.
D Options Available in High-Sensitivity Shooting Mode
• Settings can be changed for flash mode (A28), self-timer (A30), focus mode (A31) and
exposure compensation (A 32).
• Pressing d in high-sensitivity shooting mode allows you to change the settings for all options in
shooting menu (except ISO sensitivity) (A75).
