# Caution
JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are
not cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.
When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.
% Tips
For information on cropping existing photographs or changing their aspect ratio, see
Editing still images (P. 63).
ISO sensitivity
Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs
to be taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations
is [AUTO], which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic
range — and then adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.

Display the live control (P. 20) and select the ISO sensitivity item
using FG.
