    ISO sensitivity is a measure of sensitivity to light.
    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the second control panel option from the top 
    (ISO Sensitivity).
    3.Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want and then press [SET].
    • While “AUTO” is selected, Anti Shake corrects for subject movement only 
    (page 91).
    • Higher ISO sensitivity values tend to result in digital noise in images.
    • Since higher ISO sensitivity values tend to result in digital noise in images, the 
    camera performs a noise filtering process. Because of this, it may take 
    relatively longer for the camera to finish recording an image after it is shot. You 
    will not be able to perform any key operation while image recording is in 
    progress.

    You can adjust white balance to match the source of light available where you are 
    shooting and avoid the blue cast that results when shooting outdoors when it is 
    cloudy, and the green cast that results when shooting under fluorescent lighting.
    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the third control panel option from the top 
    (White Balance).
    3.Use [4] and [6] to select the shooting condition you want and then 
    press [SET].
    • When “‡ Auto WB” is selected for the white balance setting, the camera 
    automatically determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors 
    and light source conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to 
    determine the white point, which makes proper white balance adjustment 
    impossible. If this happens, select the white balance setting that matches your 
    shooting conditions (Daylight, Overcast, etc.).

    2Under the lighting conditions you plan 
    to use when shooting, point the 
    camera at a blank white piece of paper 
    so it fills the entire monitor screen and 
    then press the shutter button.
    3Press [SET].
    The white balance setting is retained even if you turn off the 
    camera.

    You can manually adjust an image’s exposure value (EV value) before shooting it.
    • Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0 EV to +2.0 EV
    • Unit: 1/3EV
    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the fourth control panel option from the top 
    (EV Shift).
    3.Use [4] and [6] to adjust the exposure compensation value.
    To cancel exposure compensation, change 
    the EV value to 0.0.
    4.Press [SET].
    This applies the exposure compensation value. The exposure compensation 
    value you set remains in effect until you change it or turn off the camera (which 
    causes it to revert to “0.0”).
    NOTE
    • When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to 
    obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.
    Correcting Image Brightness (EV Shift)
    [6]: Increases the EV value. A higher EV 
    value is best for light-colored subjects 
    and backlit subjects.
    [4]: Decreases the EV value. A lower EV 
    value is best for dark-color subjects and 
    for shooting outdoors on a clear day.

    							45Snapshot Tutorial
    NOTE
    • Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash.
    • The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too 
    close.
    • Flash charging time (page 192) depends on operating conditions (battery 
    condition, ambient temperature, etc.).
    • Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed, 
    which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions, 
    secure the camera with a tripod, etc.
    • With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with 
    exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.
    • The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source 
    can cause abnormal image colors.
    • Select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash 
    photography is prohibited.
    Red-eye Reduction
    Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the 
    eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash 
    reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash 
    mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the 
    image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye.
    Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction.
    • Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking 
    directly at the camera (flash).
    • Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from 
    the camera.
    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the bottom control panel option (Date/Time).
    You can use [4] and [6] to select date or time display.
    NOTE
    • You can select either of two display styles (page 159) for the date: Month/Day or 
    Day/Month.
    • The time is displayed using 24-hour format.

    Your camera is equipped with various types of zoom: optical zoom, HD Zoom, Single 
    SR Zoom, Multi SR Zoom, and digital zoom. The maximum zoom factor depends on 
    the image size setting and the digital zoom on/off settings.
    1.In the REC mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom.
    2.Press the shutter button to shoot the image.
    NOTE
    • Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera 
    movement when shooting with telephoto.
    • Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture.
    • Except for High Speed Movie, zoom operations are supported during movie 
    recording. Zoom operations are disabled during high speed movie recording. To 
    use optical zoom, perform the zoom operation before you press [0] (Movie) to start 
    recording.
    • Zoom operations are not supported during Slide Panorama shooting. The zoom 
    setting is fixed at full wide angle.
    • Zoom operations are not supported during Wide Shot shooting. The zoom setting 
    is fixed at full wide angle.
    Shooting with Zoom
    Optical zoomChanges the lens focal distance.
    HD ZoomAllows greater zoom capabilities by cutting out a portion of the 
    original image and enlarging it.
    Single SR ZoomApplies super resolution technology to suppress image 
    deterioration (page 48).
    Multi SR ZoomShoots a burst of High Speed CS images, which are then 
    combined into a final image to suppress image quality 
    deterioration across a range that is greater than Single SR 
    Zoom. (Multi SR Zoom is enabled by selecting the “Multi SR

    There are two types of Super Resolution Zoom: Single SR Zoom and Multi SR Zoom. 
    Single SR Zoom uses super resolution to expand the zoom range in which image 
    quality deterioration is minimized. Multi SR Zoom shoots a series of High Speed CS 
    images, which are then combined into final image to suppress image quality 
    deterioration across a range that is greater than Single SR Zoom. For information 
    about the effective zoom factor ranges in which Super Resolution Zoom is effective, 
    see page 48.
    The procedure below shows how to configure Single SR Zoom settings. For 
    information about Multi SR Zoom, see page 76.
    1.In the REC mode, press [MENU].
    2.Use [4] and [6] to select the “REC” tab.
    3.Use [8] and [2] to select “Zoom (SR)” and then press [6].
    4.Use [8] and [2] to select “Single” and then press [SET].
    NOTE
    • Single SR Zoom is effective when you want to capture delicate textures.
    • Single SR Zoom does not work during movie recording.
    • The following functions are disabled when shooting with Single SR Zoom.

    To shoot with Continuous Shutter, press [BS] (BEST 
    SHOT) and then select the “High Speed CS” scene.
    NOTE
    • To return from the “High Speed CS” HS BEST 
    SHOT scene to the Single Shot mode, press 
    [AUTO].
    With High Speed CS, you can configure the camera to shoot at a speed of 3, 5, 10, 
    15, or 30 images per second, as long as you keep the shutter button and there is 
    memory available to store the images. With Prerecord CS, half-pressing the shutter 
    button starts continual pre-recording of images to a temporary buffer. Then when you 
    press the shutter button the rest of the way down, the camera stores what is currently 
    in the buffer and starts real-time continuous shutter recording of new images. Real-
    time recording continues until you release the shutter button or until a total of up to 
    30 images (buffer images plus new images) are recorded. You can configure 
    Prerecord CS to specify how many of the 30 images are recorded in the buffer and 
    how many are recorded after you fully press the shutter button. Use Prerecord CS 
    when you want to make sure you do not miss fast-moving action.
    *You can record up to 30 images (pre-recorded buffer images plus real-time images) for 
    each Prerecord CS operation.
