+/- button
ISO: You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures. The speed or specific light-
sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers. This is available only in Auto or Manual
mode.
Selecting an ISO Sensitivity
1. Press the +/- button, and then use the UP and DOWN
buttons to select the ISO icon ( ). The ISO menu bar
will appear as shown.
2. Use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to select the desired
ISO sensitivity value.
- AUTO : The camera's sensitivity is
automatically changed by variables
such as lighting value or subject brightness.
- 100, 200, 400 : You can increase the shutter speed while the same amount of light is
present, by increasing the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be
saturated in high luminance.
The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light is and therefore the
greater its capacity to take pictures in dark conditions. However, the noise level in the image
will increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.
3. When you press the +/- button again, the value you set will be saved and ISO setup mode
will end. This value will remain unchanged until the camera is turned off.
Using the Custom White Balance
White balance settings may vary slightly depending on the shooting environment. You can
select the most appropriate white balance setting for a given shooting environment by setting
up the custom white balance.
1. Select the [CUSTOM] menu, and then press the +/-
button.
2. The autofocus indicator ( ) on the LCD monitor will
blink in green.
3. Place a sheet of white paper in front the camera so that
the LCD monitor shows only white, and then press the
SHUTTER button.
4. Your custom white balance value is stored.
- The custom white balance value will be applied, starting
with the next picture you take.
- If you select another White Balance submenu, your
custom white balance value will be cleared. In this
instance, store the custom white balance value again
before using it.
