ª Setting ISO Sensitivity
The ISO setting sets the cameras 
sensitivity to light. The ISO setting can 
be increased when you need to take 
pictures in places where a flash may not 
be allowed. The overall picture quality 
will decrease slightly as the ISO setting 
is increased.
Preparation
Set the mode dial except for [
]/
[
]/[
]. (P8)
Setting items
• When setting to [AUTO], the ISO 
sensitivity is automatically adjusted 
from ISO50 to ISO200 according to 
the brightness. (From ISO50 to 
ISO400 when using the flash)
• In Simple mode [
]/Motion image 
mode [
], ISO sensitivity is fixed to 
[AUTO].
• To avoid noises, we recommend 
decreasing the ISO sensitivity or 
setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. 
(P58)
• For the shutter speed, refer to P35.
ª Changing the Picture Size
The smaller the picture size you select, 
the more pictures you can store on the 
card. In addition, a small file size allows 
you to attach the picture to an e-mail or 
post it on a website more easily.
If you select a larger picture size, the 
printed picture will be clearer, especially 
with larger sized prints.
