High-Sensitivity Shooting Mode Shooting in High-Sensitivity Shooting Mode In high-sensitivity shooting mode, sensitivity is increased when shooting under low lighting, to reduce blurring caused by camera shake or subject movement, allowing you to capture the atmosphere of the scene. ISO sensitivity will be automatically increased to a maximum of 1600, depending upon the brightness of the subject. 1 Rotate the mode dial to B. High-Sensitivity Shooting Mode 2 Frame the subject and shoot. By default, the camera automatically chooses the focus area (one of nine) containing the subject closest to the camera and adjusts exposure accordingly (A 26, 105). E F 1/125 FF44.3 17 B Notes on High-Sensitivity Shooting Mode • This mode reduces effects of camera shake even for shooting under low lighting; however, when shooting without the flash, use of a tripod is recommended. Turn vibration reduction (A 128) off when using a tripod. • Pictures shot in this mode may become somewhat grainy. • Focus may not be precisely fixed in extremely dark places. D High-Sensitivity Shooting and Anti-Shake Modes Both high-sensitivity shooting mode and anti-shake mode (A 43) reduce blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement. However, high-sensitivity shooting mode is suited for shooting under low lighting. In some circumstances, disabling the flash may make it even easier to capture the true essence of the scene. In high-sensitivity shooting mode, pressing d displays the high-sensitivity menu. The items available in this menu are the same as those available in the A (auto) mode shooting menu (A 89), except that [ISO sensitivity] is not available in the high-sensitivity menu. Just as with A (auto) mode, the flash mode, self-timer, focus mode and exposure compensation are available. In anti-shake mode, [Vibration reduction] (A 128) is enabled, and [BSS] is selected for [Continuous] 44 (A 101), to reduce blurring caused by camera shake or subject movement, and the flash is disabled.
