Recording pictures (advanced)
70
ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity to
light in values. If you set the ISO sensitivity
higher, the camera becomes more suitable
for recording in dark places.
• When setting to [AUTO], the ISO
sensitivity is automatically adjusted from
[ISO80] to [ISO200] according to the
brightness. (It can be adjusted from
[ISO100] to [ISO400] when using the
flash. However, it is fixed to [ISO100]
when the flash mode is set to Slow sync./
Red-eye reduction [ ].)
• In motion image mode [ ] or scene
mode (P58), ISO sensitivity is fixed to
[AUTO]. (In [NIGHT SCENERY] and
[FIREWORKS] in scene mode, it is fixed
to [ISO100], and in [PANNING], it is fixed
to [ISO80].)
• You cannot select [AUTO] in
Aperture-priority AE, Shutter-priority AE
and Manual exposure mode.
• To avoid picture noises, we recommend
reducing the ISO sensitivity, setting
[NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ] to
[HIGH] or setting the items except [NOISE
REDUCTION] to [LOW] to take pictures.
(P75)
• Refer to P55 for the shutter speed.
When you select a smaller picture size
(640k480 pixels), you can store more
pictures on a card. In addition, it is
convenient to attach the picture to an
e-mail or post it on a website because the
file size is small.
If you select a larger picture size
(2560k1920 pixels), you can print pictures
clearly.
• For details on how to playback pictures
recorded using [HDTV] mode on a
High-Definition TV (HDTV has a 16:9
aspect), refer to P95.
• Both ends of the pictures recorded using
[HDTV] mode may be cut off in printing.
Check the picture before printing. (P110)
• In motion image mode [ ], the picture
size is fixed to 320k240 pixels.
• Pictures may appear like a mosaic
depending on the subject or the recording
condition.
• The number of recordable pictures
depends on the subject.
• The number of remaining pictures may not
correspond with recorded frames.
• Refer to P18 for the number of recordable
pictures.
