Correcting Image Brightness (i-Contrast)
 Still Images 
 
Movies
Before shooting, excessively bright or dark image areas (such as faces or 
backgrounds) can be detected and automatically adjusted to the optimal 
brightness. Insufficient overall image contrast can also be automatically 
corrected before shooting to make subjects stand out better.
 
Press the [
] button, choose 
[i-Contrast] on the [ ] tab, and then 
choose [Auto] (= 29).
 
Once the setting is complete, [ ] is 
displayed.
 
Under some shooting conditions, correction may be inaccurate or 
may cause images to appear grainy.
 
You can also correct existing images (= 104).
Changing the ISO Speed
 Still Images 
 
Movies
Set the ISO speed to [AUTO] for automatic adjustment to suit the shooting 
mode and conditions. Otherwise, set a higher ISO speed for higher 
sensitivity, or a lower value for lower sensitivity.
 
Press the [ ] button, choose [ ] in the 
menu, and choose the desired option 
 
The option you configured is now 
displayed.
 
To view the automatically determined ISO speed when you have 
set the ISO speed to [AUTO], press the shutter button halfway.
 
Although choosing a lower ISO speed may reduce image 
graininess, there may be a greater risk of subject and camera 
shake in some shooting conditions.
 
Choosing a higher ISO speed will increase shutter speed, which 
may reduce subject and camera shake and increase the flash 
range. However, shots may look grainy.
