ISO ...................................................................................... Changing the ISO sensitivity
AUTO Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the conditions of the
subject.
80/100/200/
400/800/1600
A low value lowers the sensitivity for daylight shooting of clear, sharp
pictures. The higher the value, the better the camera’s light sensitivity and
ability to shoot with a fast shutter speed and in low light conditions. However,
high sensitivity introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may give it
a grainy appearance.
DRIVE .......................................................................................................... Continuous shooting
o Shoots 1 frame at a time when the shutter button is pressed.
j Focus and exposure are locked at the first frame. The sequential shooting
speed varies depending on the setting of record mode.
i Pictures can be taken at a faster speed than normal sequential shooting.
ESP/ n ............................. Changing the area for measuring the brightness of a subject
ESP Meters the brightness at the center of the monitor and the surrounding area
separately to create a picture with balanced brightness. When taking pictures
against strong backlight, the center of the picture may appear dark.
n Only the center of the monitor is metered. Suitable for taking a picture of the
subject in the center of the monitor against backlight.
