ISO—adjust the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher ISO indicates greater sensitivity.
NOTE: A higher ISO may produce unwanted “noise” in a picture. ISO 3200 and 6400 are available only in
3 MP and lower picture sizes. (In Smart Capture mode, ISO 1600 is the maximum.)
Flash Compensation—adjust flash brightness.
Exposure Compensation—adjust the exposure. If the scene is too light, decrease
the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.
Shutter speed—control how long the shutter stays open. (Use a tripod for slow
shutter speeds.)
Aperture—(also known as f-stop) control the size of the lens opening, which
determines the depth of field.
■ Smaller aperture numbers indicate a larger lens opening; good for low-light.
■ Larger aperture numbers indicate a smaller lens opening; keeps the main subject
sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions.
