Recording pictures (advanced)

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 simple mode [
], 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 noise, we recommend 
decreasing the ISO sensitivity or setting 
[PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P74)
• Refer to P55 for the shutter speed.
When you select a smaller picture size 
(640
k480 pixels), you can store more 
pictures on a card. In addition, it is efficient 
to attach the picture to an e-mail or post it 
on a web site because the file size is small.
If you select a larger picture size 
(2016
k1512 pixels), you can print pictures 
clearly.
• For how to playback pictures recorded 
using [HDTV] mode on a High-Definition 
TV (HDTV has a 16:9 aspect), refer to 
P90.
• Both ends of the pictures recorded using 
[HDTV] mode may be cut off in printing. 
Check the picture before printing. (P105)
• In motion image mode [
], the picture 
size is fixed to 320
k240 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 P16 for the number of recordable 
pictures.
