Image settings:
Select a colour effect.
Adjust the white balance. Select the current lighting
conditions. This allows the camera to reproduce colours more
accurately.
Adjust the exposure compensation (images only). If you
are shooting a dark subject against a very light background,
such as snow, adjust the exposure to +1 or +2 to compensate
for the background brightness. For light subjects against a
dark background, use -1 or -2.
Adjust light sensitivity (images only). Increase the light
sensitivity in low light conditions to avoid too dark images

and blurry images. Increasing the light sensitivity may also
increase the image noise.
Adjust contrast (images only). Adjust the difference
between the lightest and darkest parts of the image.
Adjust sharpness (images only).
The screen display changes to match the settings you define.
The capture settings are shooting-mode specific. Switching
between the modes does not reset the defined settings.
If you select a new scene, the capture settings are replaced
by the selected scene. You can change the capture settings
after selecting a scene if needed.
Saving the captured image may take longer if you change the
zoom, lighting, or colour settings.

When capturing an image, note the following:
Use both hands to keep the camera steady.

The quality of a digitally zoomed image is lower than that

of a non-zoomed image.
The camera goes into battery saving mode after about a

minute of inactivity.
Keep a safe distance when using the flash. Do not use the
•
flash on people or animals at close range. Do not cover
the flash while taking a picture.
