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 a face looking toward the camera is
recognized, the camera will focus on the face
surrounded by a double border.
When shooting 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 90) and “Shooting with Face Priority” (A 92) 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 (A 109) [Off]
when using a tripod.
• Pictures shot in this mode may become somewhat grainy.
• Focus may not be precisely fixed in extremely dark places.

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) (A81).
