Shooting menu Image mode White balance Continuous ISO sensitivity AF area mode Autofocus mode In the A (Auto) mode shooting screen M d button M A tab (A 12) Option Image mode White balance Continuous ISO sensitivity Description A Allows you to select the combination of image size and image quality used when saving pictures. The default setting is R 4320×3240. 61 This setting is applied to other shooting modes. Allows you to adjust the colors in the picture to suit the light source, which can make colors appear as they do to the eye. Although Auto (default setting) can be used under most types of lighting, white balance can be adjusted to suit the sky conditions or light source and achieve more natural color tones in the picture. • Set the flash to W (Off) when white balance is set to any setting other than Auto and Flash. E 37 Allows you to select from continuous settings of Single, Continuous, BSS (A 43), or Multi-shot 16. The default setting is Single (i.e., only one picture is captured at a time). In Continuous, while the shutter-release button is held down, up to 18 pictures are taken at a rate of about 0.8 frames per second (fps) when Image mode is set to R 4320×3240. E 39 Higher ISO sensitivity allows you to shoot in lower light conditions and thus take pictures of darker subjects. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced. When ISO sensitivity is set to Auto (default setting), the camera sets the ISO sensitivity automatically. If Auto is selected and the ISO sensitivity is raised automatically, the E icon is displayed in the shooting screen (A 8). E 41 51
