.To change Auto Shutter trigger sensitivity (Sensitivity)
1.Use [8] and [2] to select “Sensitivity” and then press [6].
2.Use [4] and [6] to select the sensitivity setting you want, and then 
press [SET].
• You can select any one of three sensitivity levels, from /.. (Lowest) to 
/// (Highest).
• With the /// (Highest) setting, the auto shutter release is triggered relatively 
easily. Auto shutter release triggering becomes more difficult with the /.. 
(Lowest) setting, but recorded images have the least blur. Experiment with 
Auto Shutter trigger sensitivity settings to find the one that work best for you.
Tips for Better Auto Shutter Snapshots
• Using Auto Shutter in combination with Anti Shake (page 65) reduces the chance 
of image blur even more.
• While recording with Detect Blur or Detect Smile, keep the camera as still as 
possible until the recording operation is complete. 
						

							72Advanced Settings
IMPORTANT!
• If the camera remains in Auto Shutter standby without releasing the shutter, you 
can record an image by pressing the shutter button all the way down again.
• Detect Blur and Detect Panning may not produce the desired effect when shooting 
in an area where dim lighting requires a slow shutter speed, or when the subject is 
moving extremely quickly.
• Since facial expressions differ from individual to individual, you may experience 
problems with getting the camera to release the shutter while Detect Smile is being 
used. If this happens, change the trigger sensitivity setting.
• The Auto Power Off (page 141) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the 
camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 140) is disabled while Auto Shutter 
being used.
• To cancel Auto Shutter recording while Auto Shutter is being performed (indicated 
by “0 Auto” flashing on the monitor screen), press [SET].
• The “Ë Tracking” setting for the AF area cannot be used while Detect Blur or 
Detect Panning is selected for the Auto Shutter setting (page 43).
• Always make sure you had “Û Spot” selected for the AF area whenever you are 
using the Detect Smile Auto Shutter setting (page 43).
• Auto Shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.
– Premium Auto
– Some BEST SHOT scenes
• The following function is disabled when shooting with Auto Shutter.
– Triple Self-timer

Procedure
[r] (REC) * [SET] * MENU * REC Tab * Memory
When you turn off the camera, it remembers the current settings of all enabled 
memory items and restores them when you turn it back on. Any memory item that is 
disabled will be returned to its initial default setting whenever you turn off the camera.
*Optical zoom setting only.
• If you turn the camera power off and then back on while the BEST SHOT memory 
item is enabled, all of the other memory items (except for zoom position) are 
initialized to the currently selected BEST SHOT sample scene setup, regardless of 
the enabled/disabled status of the other memory items.

Super resolution technology is used to analyze the image, and then interpolation is 
performed to increase overall image resolution.
• Single SR Quality is effective when you want to capture delicate textures.
•A ç icon is displayed when the “Single SR Quality” setting is “On”.
• Single SR Quality is enabled for the entire zoom range, including digital zoom.
• It does not work during movie recording.

[r] (REC) * [SET] * MENU * Quality Tab * Effect
When either mode described below is selected, the camera will automatically touch 
up people and scenery to help ensure beautiful images every time.
.Shooting with the Make-up Mode (Make-up)
1.Enter the Make-up Mode
• Entering the Make-up Mode causes the ± to 
appear on the Control Panel.
2.Press [SET].
3.Use [4] and [6] to select “Make-up Level” (third 
Control Panel icon from the bottom), and then press 
[SET].

(Max.)” (maximum correction). The larger the value, the greater the processing 
that is performed.
4.Point the camera at the subject(s).
The camera will detect human faces and display a frame around each one.
5.Half-press the shutter button.
The camera will focus on the face, which will cause frames around it to turn 
green.
6.When you are ready to shoot, press the shutter button all the way 
down.
Recording Beautiful Images of People and Scenery (Effect)
Make-up This mode smoothes the skin texture of the subject and 
softens facial shadows caused by harsh sunlight for better 
looking portraits.
Landscape This mode makes colors more vivid, filters haze, and performs 
other processing that enhances the beauty of natural scenery.

Procedure
[r] (REC) * [SET] * MENU * Quality Tab * EV Shift
You can manually adjust an image’s exposure value (EV value) before shooting it.
• Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0 EV to +2.0 EV
• Unit: 1/3 EV
1.Use [8] and [2] to adjust the exposure compensation value.
To cancel exposure compensation, change the EV value to 0.0.
2.Press [SET].
This applies the exposure compensation value. The exposure compensation 
value you set remains in effect until you change it or turn off the camera (which 
causes it to revert to “0.0”).
NOTE
• When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to 
obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.
Correcting Image Brightness (EV Shift)
[8] : Increases the EV value. A higher EV 
value is best for light-colored subjects 
and backlit subjects.
[2] : Decreases the EV value. A lower EV 
value is best for dark-color subjects and 
for shooting outdoors on a clear day.

Procedure
[r] (REC) * [SET] * MENU * Quality Tab * White Balance
You can adjust white balance to match the source of light available where you are 
shooting and avoid the blue cast that results when shooting outdoors when it is 
cloudy, and the green cast that results when shooting under fluorescent lighting.
• When “Auto” is selected for the white balance setting, the camera automatically 
determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors and light source 
conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to determine the white point, 
which makes proper white balance adjustment impossible. If this happens, select 
the white balance setting that matches your shooting conditions (Daylight, 
Overcast, etc.).
