The flash is activated automatically when there is insufficient light, or when the camera is 

shaken. To take pictures with no flash in dark places, set the flash mode to [

$] and set as 

follows:
Increase the [ISO] setting

g “ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 28)

There are several factors that can cause the picture to appear grainy.
Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures

• With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater the 

magnification, the grainier the picture appears.

g  “DIGITAL ZOOM Zooming in on your subject” (P. 29)

• When you increase the [ISO] setting, “noise”, which appears as spots of unwanted color or 

unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the picture a grainy appearance. This 
camera is equipped with a function to allow shooting at high sensitivity while suppressing 
noise; however, increasing the ISO sensitivity can result in some noise, depending on the 
shooting conditions.

g “ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 28)

• The reason why there are sometimes differences between the actual colors and the colors 

recorded in a picture is related to the light source illuminating the subject. [WB] is the 
function that helps the camera determine the true colors. Normally, the [AUTO] setting 
provides the optimal white balance, but depending on the subject, results may be better if 
you manually adjust the [WB] setting.

• When the subject is in the shade on a sunny day

• When the subject is illuminated by both natural light and indoor lighting, such as when 

near a window

• When there is no white in the center of the frame

g “WB Adjusting the color of a picture” (P. 28)

• Take pictures with K in 

s mode. Suitable for taking pictures on a sunny day at the 

beach or in the snow.

g “

• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors. Use 

1F to 

adjust toward [+] to make these subjects closer to their true shades. Conversely, when you 
are shooting dark subjects, it can be effective to adjust toward the [–]. Sometimes, using the 
flash may not produce the brightness (exposure) that was intended.

• Panning along the camera central axis reduces picture misalignment. When you shoot close 

subjects, panning along the axis of the lens gives good results.

• In [COMBINE IN CAMERA1] mode, the camera automatically detects its own position 

except for the following cases (In such cases, use [COMBINE IN CAMERA 2] or [COMBINE 
IN PC].):

• when panning the camera in a quick or unsteadily manner.
• when shooting a low contrast subject (blue sky, etc.).
• when shooting a moving subject framed in full screen.
• when panning the camera with no images on-screen.
