“ISO” is short for “International Organization for Standardization.” ISO standards specify the sensitivity for digital cameras and fi lm, thus codes such as “ISO 100” are used to represent sensitivity.
In the ISO setting, although smaller values result in less sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully lit conditions. Larger values result in higher sensitivity, and images can be taken at fast shutter speeds even under low light conditions. However, high sensitivity introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may give it a grainy appearance.

Press the q button to switch to the shooting mode.Wait until #(fl ash charge) stops blinking before taking pictures.
MonitorMonitor“Diffi cult to see”.
Condensation*1 may have occurred. Turn off the power, and wait for the camera body to become acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry out before taking pictures.*1 Dew drops can form in the camera when it is
suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm, humid room.
“Vertical lines appear on the screen”.This condition may occur when the camera is pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear sky and so on. The lines do not appear, however, in the fi nal image.
“The light is caught in the picture”.Shooting with fl ash in dark situations results in an image with many fl ash refl ections on dust in the air.
Date and time functionDate and time function“Date and time settings return to the default setting”.
If the batteries are removed and left out of the camera for about a day*2, the date and time settings return to the default setting, and must be reset.*2 The time until the date and time settings return to
the default setting varies depending on how long the batteries have been loaded.

Shooting tipsWhen you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the information below.
Focusing
“Focusing on the subject”Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the screenAfter focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 20)Set [AF Mode] (p. 35) to [Face/iESP]Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 35)The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is diffi cultIn the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.
Subjects with low contrast

Object with no vertical lines*1
*1 It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.
When objects are at different distances
Fast-moving object
The subject is not in the center of the frame
Camera shake
“Taking pictures without camera shake”Taking pictures using N mode (p. 26)Select C (Sport) in s mode (p. 26)The C (Sport) mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivityIf a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a fl ash cannot be used.“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 32)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 30) fl ashA subject against backlight is brightened.Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 31)Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.

Color hue
“Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear”
Taking pictures by selecting white balance (p. 32)Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the [WB Auto] setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and artifi cial light settings, and so on.)
Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”Taking pictures with the optical zoomAvoid using digital zoom (p. 21, 36) to take pictures.Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivityIf the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy. The resulting image is grainier than with low ISO sensitivity as well.“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 32)
