[SENSITIVITY]
Setting the light sensitivity
ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity
of the image sensor to light. If you set
the ISO sensitivity higher, the camera
becomes more suitable for recording in
dark places.
When setting to [AUTO], the ISO
sensitivity is automatically adjusted to a
maximum of [ISO400] according to the
brightness. (When using the flash, the
adjustment range becomes a maximum
of [ISO1000].)
ISO sensitivity 100 1600

The ISO sensitivity automatically changes
between [ISO1600] and [ISO6400] in
[HIGH SENS.] mode.
To avoid picture noise we recommend
reducing the ISO sensitivity or setting
[COLOR MODE] to [NATURAL].
ISO sensitivity cannot be set when the
intelligent ISO is used.

[WHITE BALANCE]
Adjusting the hue for a more
natural picture
This function allows you to reproduce a
white colour closer to the tone in real life
on the pictures recorded under sunlight,
halogen lighting, etc. in which the white
colour may appear reddish or bluish.
Select a setting that matches the recording
conditions.
