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.

”DIGITAL ZOOM Zooming in on your subject” (P. 23)
Increasing the ISO sensitivity
• 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.

”ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 23)
• 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

Conversely, when you are shooting dark subjects, it can be effective to adjust the
exposure compensation toward the [–]. Sometimes, using the flash may not produce the
