# Caution
JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are
not cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.
When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.
% Tips
For information on cropping existing photographs or changing their aspect ratio, see
“ Editing still images ” (P. 63).
ISO sensitivity
Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs
to be taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations
is [AUTO], which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic
range — and then adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.
1
Display the live control (P. 20) and select the ISO sensitivity item
using
FG.
2
Select an option using HI and press Q.
The selected option is displayed in the monitor.
AUTO
The sensitivity is set automatically
according to the shooting conditions.
200 – 6400 Sensitivity is set to the selected value.
