Note on BSS
BSS is effective when taking pictures of still subjects. BSS may not produce the desired results if the
subject moves or the composition changes while the shutter-release button is held down.

Note on Multi-shot 1 6
Smear (
A
144) visible in the monitor when shooting with Multi-shot 1 6 enabled will be recorded
with images. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when
shooting with
Multi-shot 1 6 enabled is recommended.
B
Note on Sport Continuous
As high ISO sensitivity settings are applied, pictures may appear mottled. Accurate exposure may
not be achieved (images may be over-exposed) with pictures taken on bright sunny days.
E
ISO Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of the camera’s response to light. The higher the sensitivity,
the less light is needed to expose an image. Although high ISO sensitivity settings
are suited to pictures of moving subjects or those taken under dim lighting, high
sensitivity settings are often associated with “noise” - randomly spaced, brightly
colored pixels - concentrated in dark portions of the image.
At the settings other than Auto , the current setting is displayed in the monitor
(
A
6). If Auto is selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 100, the
E
icon
will be displayed (
A
31). When Fixed range auto is selected,
U
and the
maximum value for ISO sensitivity is displayed.

ISO sensitivity
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 100 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera compensates by
raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600 when lighting is dim.
Fixed range auto
Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from
ISO 100 - 400 or ISO 100 - 800 . The camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the
maximum value in the selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for
effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.
100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200
Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
