Image settings:
Select a colour effect.
Adjust the white balance. Select the current lighting conditions. This allows the
camera to reproduce colours more accurately.
Adjust the exposure compensation (images only). If you are shooting a dark subject
against a very light background, such as snow, adjust the exposure to +1 or +2 to
compensate for the background brightness. For light subjects against a dark
background, use -1 or -2.
Adjust light sensitivity (images only). Increase the light sensitivity in low light
conditions to avoid too dark images and blurry images. Increasing the light sensitivity
may also increase the image noise.
Adjust contrast (images only). Adjust the difference between the lightest and darkest
parts of the image.
Adjust sharpness (images only).
The screen display changes to match the settings you define.
The capture settings are shooting-mode specific. Switching between the modes does
not reset the defined settings.
If you select a new scene, the capture settings are replaced by the selected scene. You
can change the capture settings after selecting a scene if needed.
Saving the captured image may take longer if you change the zoom, lighting, or colour
settings.
Capture an image
When capturing an image, note the following:
• Use both hands to keep the camera steady.
• The quality of a digitally zoomed image is lower than that of a non-zoomed image.
• The camera goes into battery saving mode after about a minute of inactivity.
• Keep a safe distance when using the flash. Do not use the flash on people or animals
at close range. Do not cover the flash while taking a picture.
