pictures without the flash
The flash fires automatically when there is insufficient light. If the subject is too
far away, the flash may have no effect. Here is how to take pictures without the
flash in this type of situation.
Set the camera to ((k_))mode
• Because the sensitivity of the CCD increases automatically, you can hold the
camera and take pictures in darker places with the flash off.

Increase the [ISO] setting
• increase the value of the [ISO] setting.

The picture is too grainy
There are several factors that can cause the picture to appear grainy.
Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures
• With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater
the magnification, the grainier the picture appears.
• _ "DIGITAL ZOOM Zooming in on your subject" (P. 22)
Increasing the ISO sensitivity
• When you increase the [ISO] setting, "noise", which appears as spots of
unwanted color or unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the
picture a grainy appearance. This camera is equipped with a function to allow
shooting at high sensitivity while suppressing noise; however, increasing the
ISO sensitivity creates grainier pictures than when using a lower sensitivity.

_ pictures with the color
correct
• The reason why there are differences between the colors in a picture and the
actual colors taken and the actual color is the light source illuminating the
subject. [WB] is the function that allows the camera to determine the correct
colors. Normally, the [AUTO] setting provides the optimal white balance, but
depending on the subject, it may be better to experiment with changing the
[WB] setting.
• When the subject is in the shade on a sunny day
• When the subject is illuminated by both natural light and indoor lighting,
such as when near a window
• When there is no white in the center of the frame
