To view the automatically set ISO speed when the camera is set to _a_
[R_0],
press the shutter button halfway.
Although choosing a lower ISO speed may reduce image graininess, there
may be a greater risk of subject blurriness in some shooting conditions.
Choosing a higher ISO speed will increase shutter speed, which may reduce
subject blurriness and increase the flash range. However, shots may look grainy.
Before shooting, excessively bright or dark image areas (such as faces or
backgrounds) can be detected and automatically adjusted to the optimal
brightness. Insufficient overall image contrast can also be automatically
corrected before shooting to make subjects stand out better.
Press the
<MENU>
button, choose
[i-Contrast] on the [O] tab, and then
choose [Auto] (_38).
Once the setting is complete, [Ct] is
displayed.

may cause images to appear grainy.
