NN ISO ISO
Control the camera’s sensitivity to light.  Higher 
values can be used to reduce blur when light-
ing is poor; note, however, that mottling may 
appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities.  If 
AUTO, AUTO (800), or AUTO (400) is selected, 
the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in 
response to shooting conditions.  The maximum 
values that will be selected by the camera at set-
tings of AUTO (800) and AUTO (400) are 800 and 
400 respectively.  Settings other than AUTO are 
shown by an icon in the display.
1 Note
Sensitivity is not reset when the camera is turned off or 
another shooting mode is selected.
OO IMAGE SIZE IMAGE SIZE
Choose the size and aspect ratio at which still pictures 
are recorded.  Large pictures can be printed at large 
sizes with no drop in quality; small pictures require 
less memory, allowing more pictures to be recorded.
The number of pictures that can be taken at the 
selected setting is shown in the display (P 4).

■■  hh: Custom White Balance: Custom White Balance
Choose h to adjust white balance for unusual 
lighting conditions.  White balance measurement 
options will be displayed; frame a white object so 
that it fills the monitor and press the shutter but-
ton all the way down to measure white balance.
If “COMPLETED!” is displayed, press MENU/OK to set 
white balance to the measured value.  This value 
can be reselected by pressing MENU/OK when cus-
tom white balance options are displayed.
If “UNDER” is displayed, raise exposure compensa-
tion (P 42) and try again.  
If “OVER” is displayed, lower exposure compensa-
tion and try again.
2 Tip
To give a deliberate color cast to your photographs, 
measure a value for custom white balance using a col-
ored instead of a white object.
CC PHOTOMETRY PHOTOMETRY
Choose how the camera meters exposure when 
Intelligent Face Detection is off.
• o MULTI: Automatic scene recognition is used 
to adjust exposure for a wide range of shooting 
conditions.
• p SPOT: The camera meters lighting conditions 
at the center of the frame.  Recommended when 
the background is much brighter or darker than 
the main subject.  Can be used with focus lock 
(P 32) to meter off-center subjects.
• q AVERAGE: Exposure is set to the average for 
the entire frame.  Provides consistent exposure 
across multiple shots with the same lighting, 
and is particularly effective for landscapes and 
portraits of subjects dressed in black or white.

FF AF MODE AF MODE
This option controls how the camera selects the 
focus area when Intelligent Face Detection is off 
(P 30).  Regardless of the option selected, the 
camera will focus on the subject in the center of 
the monitor when macro mode is on (P 34).
• r CENTER: The camera focuses on the subject in 
the center of the frame.  This option can be used 
with focus lock (P 32).
• s MULTI: When the shutter button is pressed 
halfway, the camera detects high-contrast sub-
jects near the center of the frame and selects 
the focus area automatically (if the focus frame is

subject, use AF/AE lock (P 32).
• u CONTINUOUS: The camera continually adjusts 
focus to reflect changes in the distance to the 
subject even when the shutter button is not 
pressed (note that this increases the drain on the 
battery).
• x TRACKING: Position the 
subject in the center focus 
area and press the selector
