If the setting is anything other than the default setting of

Auto

,

the icon for the setting (in the table above) will appear at the

top of the

Live View

screen.

The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or

until the camera is turned off.

ISO speed

The

ISO Speed

setting adjusts the sensitivity of the camera to

light. The

Auto

setting works the best.

NOTE

If the camera is in

Action

,

Landscape

,

Portrait

,

F2.6

or

F4.9

mode, the ISO speed will always be set to

Auto

and

the ISO option in the

Capture

menu will be grayed out.

Lower ISO speeds will capture the best quality pictures with the

least amount of noise or grain. If taking a picture in low light

conditions without a flash at ISO 100, you may want to use a

tripod.
Higher ISO speeds allow higher shutter speeds and thus can

be used when taking pictures in dark areas without a flash, or

when taking pictures of fast moving objects and you want to

stop action. Higher ISO speeds produce pictures with more

grain and thus lower quality.

Shade

Camera balances color assuming it is

outdoors in shade, twilight, or dark cloudy

conditions.

Tungsten

Camera balances color assuming

incandescent or halogen lighting (typically

found in homes).

Fluorescent

Camera balances color assuming

fluorescent lighting.
