    resolution for photos that will be displayed in a digital picture frame or 
    uploaded to the web.

    The camera saves photos in either the JPEG or RAW format.
    Photos captured by a camera are often transformed to the JPEG format 
    and stored in the memory according to the settings of the camera at the 
    time of shooting. RAW files are not transformed to the JPEG format and are 
    stored in the memory without any changes. 
    RAW files have the file extension “SRW”. To adjust and calibrate exposures, 
    White Balances, tones, contrasts, and colors of the RAW files, or to convert 
    them into JPEG or TIFF format, use the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 
    program found on the supplied DVD-ROM.
    Ensure you have enough space on the memory card to save photos in the 
    RAW format.
    To set the quality, In Shooting mode, press [m] → 1 → Quality →  
    an option.

    The ISO sensitivity value represents the sensitivity of camera to light. 
    The larger the ISO value, the more sensitive the camera is to light. 
    Consequently, by selecting a higher ISO sensitivity value, you can capture 
    photos in dim or dark places at faster shutter speeds. However, this may 
    increase electronic noise and result in a grainy photo.
    To set ISO sensitivity, In Shooting mode, press [I] → an option.
    Examples
    ISO 100ISO 400
    ISO 800ISO 3200
    • You can also set the option by pressing [m] → 1 → ISO → an option 
    in Shooting mode.
    • Increase the ISO value in places where flash use is prohibited. You can capture 
    a clear photo by setting a high ISO value without having to secure more light.
    • Use the Noise Reduction function in order to reduce the visual noise that can 
    appear on photos of a high ISO value. (p. 146)
    • Available options may differ depending on the shooting conditions.

    White Balance represents the light source that influences on the color of a 
    photo. 
    The color of a photo depends on the type and quality of the light source. 
    If you want the color of your photo to be realistic, select an appropriate 
    lighting condition to calibrate the White Balance, such as Auto WB, 
    Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, or adjust color temperature manually.
    You can also adjust color for the preset light sources so that the colors of 
    the photo match the actual scene under mixed lighting conditions.
    To set the White 
    Balance, In Shooting mode, press [m] → 1 → White Balance → 
    an option.
    Icon Description
    Auto WB : Use automatic settings depending on the lighting 
    conditions.
    Daylight: Select when taking outdoor photos on a sunny day. This 
    option results in photos closest to the natural colors of the scene.
    Cloudy: Select when taking outdoor photos on a cloudy day or in 
    shadows. Photos captured on cloudy days tend to be more bluish 
    than on sunny days. This option offsets that effect.
    Icon Description
    Fluorescent White : Select when shooting under a daylight 
    fluorescent lamp. Especially for white fluorescent light with a color 
    temperature of about 4,200K.
    Fluorescent NW: Select when shooting under a daylight 
    fluorescent lamp. Especially for white fluorescent light of very 
    white hues with a temperature of about 5,000K.
    Fluorescent Daylight: Select when shooting under a daylight 
    fluorescent lamp. Especially for white fluorescent light of slightly 
    bluish hue with a temperature of about 6,500K.
    Tungsten: Select when taking indoor photos under incandescent 
    bulbs or halogen lamps. Incandescent tungsten bulbs tend to have 
    a reddish hue. This option offsets that effect.
    Flash WB: Select when using a flash.
    Custom Set: Use your pre-defined settings. You can manually set 
    the White Balance by pressing [ D], and then shooting a white 
    sheet of paper. Fill the spot metering circle with the paper and set 
    the White Balance.

    Alternatively, as the color temperature decreases, the color 
    distribution becomes warmer. Press [ D], and then adjust the 
    color temperature.
