Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu k Image Mode and the Number of Exposures Remaining The following table lists the number of pictures that can be stored in internal memory and on a 256 MB memory card, together with the size of still pictures. Note that the number of pictures that can be stored will differ depending on the composition of the picture (due to JPEG compression). In addition, this number may differ depending on the make of memory card, even if the capacity for the memory card is the same.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu d White Balance The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as “white balance.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu f Preset White Balance Preset white balance is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light). 1 2 Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting. Use the multi selector to choose [White bal. preset] in the white balance menu, and press d. The camera zooms in.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu q Continuous Capture a fleeting expression on a portrait subject, photograph a subject that is moving unpredictably, or capture motion in a series of pictures. Focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed at the values for the first picture in each series. r Single (default setting) One shot is taken each time shutter-release button is pressed. q Continuous While the shutter-release button is held down, pictures are taken at rate of about 1.3 frames per second (fps).
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu z Interval Timer Photography Pictures are taken automatically at specified intervals.

Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu A Best Shot Selector (BSS) The “best shot selector” is convenient for shooting in situations where inadvertent camera movement can result in blurred pictures. At [On] setting, the flash automatically turns off and focus, exposure, and white balance for all pictures are determined by the first picture in each series. A On Recommended for taking pictures in poorly lit places, or in other situations where camera shake may occur.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu W ISO Sensitivity Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity is often associated with “noise” –randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu c Electronic VR When set to [Auto], the affects of camera shake and blurred subjects are reduced while pictures are taken under the following conditions: • Flash mode is set to B or D • Shutter speed is slow • [Single] is selected in the continuous shooting menu Electronic VR L Auto Off When [Electronic VR] is set to [Auto], the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (c 6).
