Five camera sensitivity settings can be selected with a still image.  The auto setting automatically
adjusts the camera sensitivity to the light conditions between ISO 50 and ISO 200. The camera sen-
sitivity can also be specified among ISO 50, 100, 200, and 400. The numerical values are based on
an ISO equivalent.  As the ISO value doubles, the camera sensitivity doubles. Noise increases with
the sensitivity in digital imaging; the ISO setting of 50 has the least noise and 400 has the most. 

The flash range changes with camera sensitivity. Because of the optical system, the flash range is
not the same at the lens’ wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.

Flash compensation

Flash compensation increases or decreases the flash exposure of the built-in flash in reference to
the ambient exposure by as much as ±1 Ev. See page 54 for more on Ev.

No compensation

Negative compensation

Positive compensation

No flash

When using fill-flash to reduce harsh shadows caused by direct sunlight, flash compensation
changes the ratio between the highlights and shadows. By decreasing the flash output with a nega-
tive Ev setting, the shadows receive less light and are deeper. Using a positive Ev setting will soften
or eliminate shadows.
