ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity to
light in values. If you set the ISO sensitivity
higher, the camera becomes more suitable
for recording in dark places.
• When [AUTO] is selected, the ISO
sensitivity automatically increases to a
maximum of [ISO200] (or [ISO400] when
the flash is activated) depending on the
brightness.
• In simple mode [ ], motion picture mode
[ ] or scene mode, ISO sensitivity is
fixed to [AUTO]. (In [NIGHT SCENERY]
(P59), [SOFT SKIN] (P61) and [STARRY
SKY] (P63) in scene mode, it is fixed to
[ISO80].)
• To avoid picture noise, we recommend
decreasing the ISO sensitivity or setting
[PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P76)
The aspect ratio is the horizontal to vertical
ratio of a picture.
You can select from three aspect ratios.
• The ends of the recorded pictures may be
cut at printing. Check the picture in
advance. (P109)

This is suited for landscapes and
other subjects where you prefer a
wide view. This is also suited for
playing back on wide-screen TVs
and high-definition TVs.
