Adjustingthe light intensity the ges by adjusting tile exposure and the ISO sensitivity. Exposure is uf light that the camera will receive when yuu release the shutter. Shutter speed Exposure: Aperture -- = Length of time the camera receives light = Size of file opening alh)wing light to pass through ISO = Recording sensitivity Overexposure = too much light Whitish image The exposure is automatically set to tile proper value in the auto adjustment mode.
Adjusting the ISO sensitivity ISO is/lnit of measurement (sensitivity), estimating how milch light an image pickup device (equivalent to photo films) receives. Even when the exposure is the same. images differ depending oil the ISO sensitivity. [ISO] adjusts the sensitivity --+ page 32 High ISO sensitivity Records a bright image oxen when shooting in a dark location. However, Ihe image tends to become noisy. Low ISO sensitivity Records an image without noise. However_ the image may become darker.
On "image quality" and "image size" is made up of a collection of small dots called pixels. If i{ us a large number of pixels, the picture becomes large, it takes up more memory, and the image is displayed in fine detail. "hnage size" is shown by the number of pixels. Although you cannot see the differences on the screen of the camera, the fine detail and data processing time differ when the image is printed or displayed on a computer screen.
