Option Description

Image mode
Allows you to select the combination of image size and
image quality used when saving images.
The default setting is
P
4 6 0 8× 345 6 .
This setting is applied to other shooting modes.
60
White balance
Allows you to adjust the colors in the image to suit the
light source, which can make colors appear as they do to
the eye. Although
Auto (default setting) can be used
under most types of lighting, white balance can be
adjusted to suit the sky conditions or light source and
achieve more natural color tones in the image.
• Set the flash to
W
( Off ) when white balance is set to
any setting other than Auto and Flash .
E

Continuous
Allows you to select from continuous settings of Single ,
Continuous , BSS (
A
44), or Multi-shot 1 6 . The default
setting is Single (i.e., only one image is captured at a
time).
In
Continuous , while the shutter-release button is held
down, up to 6 images are captured at a rate of about 1.3
frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to
P
4 6 0 8× 345 6 .
E
26
ISO sensitivity
Higher ISO sensitivity allows you to shoot in lower light
conditions and thus take pictures of darker subjects.
Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness,
pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and
blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement
can be reduced. When ISO sensitivity is set to
Auto
(default setting), the camera sets the ISO sensitivity
automatically.
If
Auto is selected and the ISO sensitivity is raised
automatically, the
E
icon is displayed in the shooting
screen (
