ISO... Changing the ISO sensitivity
AUTO 50/100/200/ 400/800/1600/ 2500/4000 Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the conditions of the subject. A low value lowers the sensitivity for daylight shooting of clear, sharp pictures. The higher the value, the better the cameras light sensitivity and ability to shoot with a fast shutter speed and in low light conditions. However, high sensitivity introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may give it a grainy appearance.

DIGITAL ZOOM... Zooming in on your subject
The digital zoom can be used to take close-up pictures with stronger magnification than the optical zoom.

You can use this setting to create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the tail-lights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out. If the shutter speed is faster than 1/200, the flash fires automatically with the front curtain.
When the shutter speed is set to 4 sec.

Q FLASH... Setting to use an external flash
IN SLAVE Allows you to take pictures using the built-in flash. When using a commercially available slave flash that is synchronized with the camera flash, the amount of the light emitted by the flash can be adjusted in 10 levels.

If the camera is more than 1 m (3.3 ft.) away from the source of the sound, sound may not be recorded clearly by the built-in microphone.
DIS MOVIE MODE. Reducing the blur incurred by camera movement when taking movies
The images are recorded slightly larger when [DIS MOVIE MODE] is set to [ON]. When the camera moves a lot or the subject is moving quickly, the digital image stabilization function may not operate effectively. When taking pictures with the camera stabilized, set [DIS MOVIE MODE] to [OFF], otherwise the movement of the subject may cause the image on the screen to move.

Handling the Camera

WARNING
Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases. Do not use the flash on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range. You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects. Firing the flash too close to the subjects eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision.
Keep young children and infants away from the camera. Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury: Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation. Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts. Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child. Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera. Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera. Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places. Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.
Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it. Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a fire or burn your hands. Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high temperatures. Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch fire. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire. Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn. When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following: When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused. In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the cameras body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures. Be careful with the strap. Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects - and cause serious damage.
