NOTE • When proper focusing is not possible because the subject is closer than the Auto Focus range, the camera will switch to the Macro Focus range automatically (Auto Macro).
  • Page 115 NOTE • When Macro Focus cannot focus properly because the subject is too far away, the camera will switch to the Auto Focus range automatically (Auto Macro). • Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Macro Focus, values will appear on the monitor screen as shown below to tell you the focus range.

  • Page 126: Specifying Iso Sensitivity

    Specifying ISO Sensitivity ISO sensitivity is a value that expresses sensitivity to light. A larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is better for shooting when available lighting is dim. If you want to use faster shutter speeds, you should use a higher ISO sensitivity value. Under certain conditions, a fast shutter speed in combination with a high ISO sensitivity setting can cause digital noise, which makes an image appear rough.
  • Page 127: Specifying The Metering Mode

    IMPORTANT! • Using flash with high ISO sensitivity can cause problems with subjects that close to the camera. • “Auto” ISO sensitivity always is used for movies, regardless of the current ISO sensitivity setting. • You can use the key customization feature to configure the [ ] and [ ] buttons so they control the ISO sensitivity setting (page 135).

  • Page 133 ■ How to Use the Histogram A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal axis indicates lightness. You can use the histogram to determine whether an image includes the shadowing (left side), mid tones (center), and highlighting (right) to bring out sufficient image detail.
