C Continuous2 A 86 Change settings for Continuous or BSS (best shot selector) E ISO sensitivity2, 3 A 88 Control camera’s sensitivity to light. F Color options2 A 89 Apply color effects to pictures as they are recorded.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu A Image Mode Pictures shot with a digital camera are recorded as image files. The size of the files, and with it the number of images that can be recorded, depends on the size and quality of the images. Before shooting, choose an image mode according to how you plan to use the picture and the capacity of the internal memory or memory card.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu C Number of Exposures Remaining The following table lists the approximate number of pictures that can be stored in internal memory and on a 256 MB memory card. Note that the number of pictures that can be stored will differ depending on the composition of the picture (due to JPEG compression). In addition, this number may differ depending on the make of memory card, even if the capacity for the memory card is the same.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu B White Balance The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as “white balance.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu Preset Manual Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures shot under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been shot under white light). 1 Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting. 2 Use the rotary multi selector to choose [b Preset manual] in the [White balance] menu, and press k. The camera zooms in.

Continuous Single Continuous BSS Multi-shot 16 Intvl timer shooting Exit Set interval time 30s 1m 5m 10m 30m Exit The camera returns to shooting mode.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu E 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 shooting 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.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu F Color Options Make colors more vivid or record pictures in monochrome. n Standard color (default setting) Use for pictures exhibiting natural color. o Vivid color Use to achieve a vivid, “photoprint” effect. p Black-and-white Record pictures in black-and-white. q Sepia Record pictures in sepia tones. r Cyanotype Record pictures in cyan-blue monochrome.
