determines the depth of field.

■ Larger f-stop numbers indicate a smaller lens opening; keeps the main subject
sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions.
Shutter speed—control how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon
warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)
Exposure Compensation—adjust the exposure. If the picture is too light, decrease
the setting; if it's too dark, increase the setting.
Flash Compensation—adjust flash brightness.
ISO—adjust the camera's sensitivity to light. Higher ISO indicates greater sensitivity.
NOTE: A higher ISO may produce unwanted "noise" in a picture. ISO 3200 available only in 2.2 and lower
picture sizes.
