Recording

Contrast and exposure will be adjusted automatically when there is a big difference in 
brightness between the background and subject, to bring the image close to real life.

•

[

] in the screen turns yellow when [i.Exposure] is in effect.

•

Even when the [Sensitivity] is set to [100], [Sensitivity] may be set higher than [100] if the picture is 
taken with [i.Exposure].

•

Compensation effect may not be achieved depending on the conditions.

You can take bright pictures in dark places by setting [Min. Shtr Speed] slower. Also, you can 
set it faster to reduce the blur of the subject.

•

This should usually be set to [AUTO] to take pictures.
(When you select a minimum shutter speed other than [AUTO], [

] appears on the screen.)

•

Some of the [Sensitivity] settings may limit the shutter speed to faster speeds.

•

When [AUTO] is selected, shutter speed may be set up to 1 second when there is not much jitter to 
adjust with the [Stabilizer], or when [Stabilizer] is set to [OFF].

•

Setting [Min. Shtr Speed] to slower speed might increase the chance of jitter, so we recommend 
using a tripod and the Self-timer for taking pictures.

•

Setting [Min. Shtr Speed] to faster speed might make the picture darker, so we recommend 
recording the picture in well-lit area.
If correct exposure cannot be achieved, [

] will flash in red when the shutter button is pressed 

halfway.
