EV Compensation Photos can be captured with the overall scene intentionally made brighter or darker. These settings are used when a suitable brightness (exposure) cannot otherwise be obtained in circumstances where the difference in brightness between the subject and the background (the contrast) is large, or when the subject that you wish to capture is very small within the scene. Available for still images only. • To adjust EV settings, press the 4-way navigation control to increase/decrease the value. As you adjust the settings, the LCD monitor synchronously displays the image applying the EV settings. Press the OK button to save and apply changes. White Balance This sets the white balance for a variety of lighting conditions and permits images to be captured that approach the conditions that are seen by the human eye. • As you move through the selection, you can see the preview on the LCD monitor synchronously. Icon Item Auto White Balance Daylight Description The camera automatically adjusts the white balance. Ideally used for bright sunny conditions. Cloudy Tungsten Fluorescent 1 Ideally used for cloudy conditions. Ideally used for indoor photos with tungsten or halogen lighting without a flash. Ideally used for indoor photos with bluish fluorescent lighting conditions. Fluorescent 2 Custom Ideally used for indoor photos with reddish fluorescent lighting conditions. Used when light source cannot be specified. Press the Shutter button for the camera to automatically adjust the appropriate white balance setting according to the environment. ISO This sets the sensitivity for capturing photos. When the sensitivity is raised (and the ISO figure is increased), photography will become possible even in dark locations, but the more pixelated (grainier) the photo will appear. • Use a higher ISO setting in dim conditions and a lower ISO setting in brighter conditions. 24
