The camera will automatically set the
optimal ISO sensitivity and the shutter
speed to the movement of the subject and
the surrounding brightness.
• One of the following maximum ISO
sensitivity levels can be selected. The
higher the value set for the ISO sensitivity,
the more the jitter is reduced but the
greater the amount of picture noise.

the ISO sensitivity and making the shutter
speed faster.

indoors of a subject with no movement by
decreasing the ISO sensitivity.

halfway, [ ] appears. When you
press the shutter button fully, the shutter
speed and the ISO sensitivity appear for a

the subject is moving, jitter may not be
avoided.
