Faces detected by the camera are indicated by white frames. Zoom frame AF/Zoom AF ( Super Spot AF) You can zoom in on a portion of the frame when adjusting focus.
Changing ISO sensitivity (ISO) 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.
One-touch white balance Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lighting that will be used in the fi nal photograph.
