speed to [AUTO], press the shutter button halfway.
• Although choosing a lower ISO speed may reduce image graininess,
there may be a greater risk of subject and camera shake in some shooting
conditions.
• Choosing a higher ISO speed will increase shutter speed, which may reduce
subject and camera shake and increase the flash range. However, shots may
look grainy.

Correcting Image Brightness (i-Contrast)

[i-Contrast] on the [ 4] tab, and then
choose [Auto] ( = 21 ).

displayed.

may cause images to appear grainy.
• You can also correct existing images ( = 82 ).
