NOISE REDUCTION   Decreases the amount of visual noise by removing the 

graininess in the image or video, but may result in some loss of detail.

WHITE BALANCE   Adjusts the color temperature of the snapshot/recording to 

compensate for ambient lighting.

COLOR   You are given 5 preset choices: Normal, B&W (Black and White), 

Retro (aka:  Sepia tone ), Warm (slight reddish hue), and Cool (slight bluish hue).

ISO   The image sensor's sensitivity to light. Choose  Auto  on your camera if you 

are not familiar with this setting. Depending on the lighting conditions, use the 

lowest ISO whenever possible, as higher settings will introduce more noise. 

Adjust depending on your preference.  

EV   Exposure Value - Changing EV compensates for the amount 

of light that is allowed in. You can change this value to a lower setting if the 

scene is too bright to compensate, or higher, if it is too dark, but still depends 

on your desired e ect. 

 When turned on, an uncompressed  le separate from the JPG image will 

RAW

 

be written on the card for the purpose of editing later. Use an external photo 

editing software to make adjustments before saving to your intended  letype. 

Available only in Photo mode.

SETUP MENU - Screen 4 of 7

TIP:  Long exposure for dark 

nighttime shots gain more 

detail when the Exposure Value 

is raised. 

Just don t forget to reset your EV

after the shot or your next 

pictures will be too bright and 

over-exposed.
