English 82 COMPRESSION RATE SETTING Use the procedure below to set the compression rate. Even if the same resolution is used, you can change the compression setting to decrease the image data size so that you can capture more images, or increase the image data size for no loss in image quality. 1 2 Display an EXPERT Mode Shooting Setting Screen (see page 36). Select the desired compression rate from the compression menu, and press the SET button. : Stores the data with a low compression (high quality). : Stores the data with an extremely low compression (super high quality). : Stores the data with normal compression (normal quality). h The possible compression rate settings for each shooting mode are shown in the following table.

However, the ISO sensitivity can be set to a fixed setting. 1 2 Display an EXPERT Mode Shooting Setting Screen (see page 36). Select the desired ISO sensitivity setting from the ISO sensitivity menu. : Sets the ISO sensitivity automatically (equivalent to ISO50 to 200 [video clip shooting mode: ISO200 to 800]). ISO AUTO <Example: Still image shooting mode> : Sets the sensitivity to ISO50 equivalent (still image and sequential shots shooting modes only). : Sets the sensitivity to ISO100 equivalent (still image and sequential shots shooting modes only). : Sets the sensitivity to ISO200 equivalent. : Sets the sensitivity to ISO400 equivalent. : Sets the sensitivity to ISO800 equivalent (video clip shooting mode only). : Sets the sensitivity to ISO1600 equivalent (video clip shooting mode only). English 84 ISO SENSITIVITY SETTING 3 Press the SET button. h This completes the ISO sensitivity setting. HINT i By setting a higher ISO sensitivity, you can set higher shutter speeds and capture images in darker locations, but noise in the captured images may increase. 85 English WHITE BALANCE SETTING This digital camera automatically adjusts the white balance under most lighting conditions. However, if you want to specify the lighting conditions or change the overall tone of the image, the white balance can be manually set. 1 2 Display an EXPERT Mode Shooting Setting Screen (see page 36). Select the desired white balance setting from the white balance menu.
