Setting the image aspect

You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when taking pictures
using live view. Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3]
(standard), [16:9], [3:2], [6:6], or [3:4].

Cautions
• JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are not
cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.
• When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.

Tips
• For information on cropping existing photographs or changing their aspect ratio, see
"Editing still images" (P. 67).

ISO sensitivity

Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be
taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO],
which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and then
adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.
