Note on Multi-shot 16
Smear ( A 128) visible in the monitor when shooting with Multi-shot 16 will be visible in the saved
image data. To reduce smear effects, avoid bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and
electric lights when shooting.
ISO Sensitivity
When ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is needed when taking pictures.
Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even
with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds,
and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.
• Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects,
shooting without the flash, shooting with the camera zoomed in, etc., images
may contain noise.
The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor ( A 8). When Auto is
selected, the E icon is not displayed at ISO 80, but is displayed if the ISO
sensitivity automatically increases to more than 80 (
A 30).
