The ends of the recorded pictures may be cut at printing so check before printing.  (P211)
Applicable modes: 
Set the number of pixels. The higher the numbers of pixels, the finer the detail of the 
pictures will appear even when they  are printed onto large sheets.

If you set [Ex. Tele Conv.]  (P76) to [ON], [ ] is displayed on the screen when the picture size 
is set to a size other than the maximum picture size for each aspect ratio.
•A digital picture is made of numerous dots called pixels. The higher the numbers of pixels, the 
finer the picture will be when it is printed on  a large piece of paper or displayed on a PC 
monitor.

∫ About [ ] (Intelligent ISO sensitivity control)
The camera detects movement of the subject and then automatically sets the optimum 
ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to suit the movement of the subject and brightness of the 
scene to minimize the jitter of the subject.
•
The shutter speed is not fixed when the shutter button is pressed halfway. It is continuously 
changing to match the movement of the subject until the shutter button is pressed fully. 
Note
•For the focus range of flash when [AUTO] is set, refer to  P81.
