The subject is completely still (e.g. when
shooting documents, drawings, etc.).
Enable the EVS (Enhanced Vertical
definition System) function.
(See page

increase the occurrence of aliasing
problems (moiré patterns). Therefore,
normally leave the function disabled.
This enhances the vertical resolution.

when shooting a wedding or similar
occasion.
Use the HI SAT file. (Access advanced
menu page 10 with the SET UP switch
set to FILE.)

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

“easy focus” function on.
This opens the iris, to make it easier to
focus before beginning shooting.

there is no time to make adjustments.

position.
This provides automatic adjustment to a
set of standard values, to allow
immediate shooting.
