W ISO Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher
the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high
ISO rating is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting,
high sensitivity is often associated with “noise” -randomly spaced, brightly
colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image.
[Auto] (default setting) is ISO 100 under normal conditions; when lighting is
poor and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a
maximum of ISO 800. Choose from values between ISO 100 and 1600.
At settings other than [Auto], the current setting is displayed in the monitor
(c 8). If [Auto] is selected and the sensitivity is raised above an ISO 100, the
W icon will be displayed (c 31).
d Color Options
Make colors more vivid or record pictures in monochrome.
The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At
settings other than [Standard color], the icon for the current setting is
displayed in the monitor (c 8).
e Standard color (default setting)
Use for pictures exhibiting natural color.
C Vivid color
Use to achieve a vivid, “photoprint” effect.
D Black-and-white
Record pictures in black-and-white.
B Sepia
Record pictures in sepia tones.
A Cyanotype
