Snapshot Tutorial
IMPORTANT!
• You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want when shooting an image
that is very dark or very bright. If this happens, use the M mode to adjust the
aperture or shutter speed manually.
• In the S mode, ISO sensitivity (page 44) always operates according to its “AUTO”
setting. The ISO sensitivity setting cannot be changed while in the S mode.
• While A, S, or M is selected for the recording mode, the flash will not fire if >
(Auto Flash) or ¥ (Red Eye Reduction) is selected as the flash mode. If you want
the flash to fire, select < (Flash On) as the flash mode.
• The displayed ISO sensitivity, shutter speed or aperture value will turn orange
when you half-press the shutter button if the image is overexposed or
underexposed.
