You can select the ISO sensitivity when
taking pictures.
The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a
camera is rated by ISO numbers.
ISO
- AUTO ( ) :
The camera's sensitivity is automatically changed by variables such as lighting value or
subject brightness.
- 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 :
You can increase the shutter speed while the same amount of light is present, by increasing
the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be saturated in high luminance. The higher the
ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light is and therefore the greater its capacity
to take pictures in dark conditions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the
ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.
How to set the ISO
1. Press the ISO button and an ISO icon will display on the LCD.
2. Select a desired icon by rotating the Rear jog dial (JOG2).
3. Press the OK button to set the setting.

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure
conditions, you can change the metering
method to take brighter pictures.
Metering methods
- Multi metering ( ) :
Exposure will be calculated based on the each parts of the LCD divided into several parts.
This is suitable for general use.
- CWA (Center Weighted Average) metering ( ) :
Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area.
However, the calculation will be biased towards the centre of the image area.
This is suitable for taking a small object like a flower or insects.
- Spot metering ( ) :
Only the cross marked area in the centre of the LCD will be metered for light.
This is suitable when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless of the back
lighting.
The + mark will be displayed in case of selecting the Spot metering menu.
How to set the metering mode
1. Press the metering button and a metering icon will display on the LCD.
2. Select a desired icon by rotating the Rear jog dial (JOG2).

A RAW file contains the original image information. To edit this file format, you have to
use supplied software to edit it.
The RAW and TIFF file format are for professionals and provides the best quality.
However, large file size reduces number of available pictures to take and increases
saving time to the memory card.
A [Processing...] message is displayed while saving a RAW or TIFF file to the memory card.
When you select a RAW or TIFF file type, the image size is fixed as 3264X2448( ).
The RAW and TIFF file format can’t be selected in the SCENE mode.
This file format complies with the DCF (Design rule for Camera File system).
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) : JPEG is the image compression standard
developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This type of compression is most
commonly used for compressing photos and graphics because it can compress the files
efficiently without damaging the data.
