I The picture is too grainy

Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures

the magnification, the grainier the picture appears.

increasing the ISO sensitivity

• When you increase the [ISO] setting, “noise”, which appears as spots of

unwanted color or unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the
picture a grainy appearance. This camera is equipped with a function to allow

shooting at high sensitivity while suppressing noise; however, increasing the

ISO sensitivity creates grainier pictures than when using a lower sensitivity.
