Settings for Special Cases
Setting Effect
Set the A.IRIS MODE switch to BACK L,
turning the indicator on.
This lightens the foreground.
The subject is under a spotlight. Set the A.IRIS MODE switch to SPOT L,
turning the indicator on.
This prevents white burn-out in highlights
of faces and clothes.
The subject is completely still (e.g. when
shooting documents, drawings, etc.).
Enable the EVS (Enhanced Vertical
definition System) function.
(See page
116.)
Note
Enabling the EVS function tends to
increase the occurrence of aliasing
problems (moiré patterns). Therefore,
normally leave the function disabled.
This enhances the vertical resolution.
When you wish to give a lush effect, as
when shooting a wedding or similar
occasion.
Set the FILE setting to HISAT.
(See

This increases the saturation of primary
colors.
Shooting under fluorescent lighting. Set the FILE setting to FL.

This eliminates the blue-green cast, and
restores natural hues.

focus before beginning shooting.

there is no time to make adjustments.

“EZ mode” function on.

This provides automatic adjustment to a
set of standard values, to allow
immediate shooting.
The 3200 K preset white balance makes
the picture reddish.
Change the setting of the preset white
balance on basic menu page 2.
(See
page 81.)
