Record mode

You can select a record mode in which to take pictures. Choose the record mode that’s
best for your purpose (printing, editing on a PC, website editing, etc.).

Record mode and the number of storable pictures

The approximate number of pictures that can be
stored is determined by dividing the memory capacity
of the card by the file size of the pictures. When a
card is inserted into the camera, the number of
storable pictures is displayed on the control panel.
If the number of storable pictures exceeds 1999,
1999 is displayed on the control panel.

ISO sensitivity

The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the better its
ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values may give pictures a grainy
appearance.
Setting the ISO sensitivity to ISO BOOST using the menu beforehand allows you to
select the high ISO sensitivity (1600 or 3200).
