ISO speed
This Capture menu option allows you
to adjust the sensitivity of the camera
to light.
Because higher ISO numbers allow
higher shutter speeds, use a higher
ISO Speed setting when taking
pictures in dark areas or pictures of
fast moving objects. In contrast, because lower ISO numbers
result in slower shutter speeds, use a lower ISO Speed setting
to capture better quality images with less “noise.”
NOTE You may want to use a tripod when setting the camera
to I S0 100 because of the resulting slow shutter speed.
The default ISO Speed setting is AUTO , which allows the
camera to pick the best ISO Speed for the scene. The ISO
Speed setting resets to AUTO when you turn the camera off.
When you set Exposure Mode to Action , Landscape , or
Portrait , the ISO Speed menu option is grayed-out, and the
camera automatically selects the best ISO Speed setting.
Color
This Capture menu option allows you
to set the color in which your images
will be captured.
The default
Color setting is Full Color .
The Color setting resets to Full Color
when you turn the camera off.
