 INTELLIGENT ISO
Camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity and shutter speed according to movement 
of subject to avoid blur. Higher ISO sensitivity reduces subject blur and jitter but can 
increase interference. Please select maximum ISO sensitivity according to table below.

 Shutter speed and ISO sensitivity are displayed in the screen for a few seconds after 
recording.
 If interference becomes noticeable, we recommend reducing the setting, or selecting 
‘NATURAL’ in the ‘COLOR MODE’ (P.75).
 Blurring may occur depending on brightness, and size, position, and speed of 
movement of the subject (e.g. if subject is too small, is on edge of picture, or starts 
moving as soon as shutter button is pressed).
 SENSITIVITY
Set ISO sensitivity (sensitivity to lighting) manually.
We recommend higher settings to take clear pictures in darker locations.
 MODE:
