High Sensitivity Mode
Shooting in the High Sensitivity Mode
In high sensitivity mode, sensitivity is increased when shooting under low lighting,
to reduce blurring caused by camera shake or subject movement, allowing you to
capture the atmosphere of the scene. ISO sensitivity will be automatically
increased to a maximum of 1600, depending upon the brightness of the subject.
1
Enter high sensitivity mode by
pressing
e in shooting mode,
selecting B (use the multi
selector), and then pressing
k.
2
Frame the subject and shoot.
When people’s faces (front view) are
recognized the camera will focus on the face
surrounded by a double focus area.
When shooting non-human subjects or when
no faces are recognized the camera
automatically selects the focus area (one of
nine) containing the subject closest to the camera.
See AF area mode ( A 94) or “Face Priority” (A 96) for more information about Face
Priority.

Notes on High Sensitivity Mode
• This mode reduces effects of camera shake even for shooting under low lighting; however, when
shooting without the flash, use of a tripod is recommended.
• Pictures taken in this mode may become somewhat grainy.
• Focus may not be precisely fixed in extremely dark places.
