High ISO sensitivity
Selects a luminous sensitivity with units of ISO. The larger the number, the higher the sensitivity.
Select a large number when shooting in dark locations or shooting a subject moving at high speed, or select a small number to obtain high image quality. Using functions for shooting
For details on the ISO sensitivity, see page 8. Note that the image tends to become noisier as the ISO sensitivity number increases. [ISO] is set to [Auto] in the Scene Selection mode. When shooting under brighter conditions, the camera automatically increases its tone reproduction and helps prevent images to become whitish (excluding when [ISO] is set to [ISO 100]).
EV: Adjusting the light intensity
Manually adjusts the exposure.

Toward

Toward + Toward : Darkens an image. The exposure is determined automatically by the camera. Toward +: Brightens an image.

2.0EV 0EV +2.0EV

For details on the Exposure, see page 8. The compensation value can be set in 1/3EV increments. If a subject is being shot in extremely bright or dark conditions, or the flash is used, the exposure adjustment may not be effective.
Metering Mode: Selecting the metering mode
Selects the metering mode that sets which part of the subject to measure to determine the exposure.

(Multi)

Divides into multiple regions and measures each region. The camera determines a well-balanced exposure (Multi-pattern metering). Measures the center of the image, and determines the exposure based on the brightness of the subject there (Centerweighted metering). Measures only a part of the subject (Spot metering).
This function is useful when the subject is backlit or when there is strong contrast between the subject and the background.

(Center)

(Spot) (Only for still image)

Adjusts the White Balance automatically. Adjusts for conditions outside under a clear sky, at sundown, night scenes, the presence of neon signs or fireworks.

(Cloudy)

Adjusts for a cloudy sky or a shady location.
(Fluorescent Light 1)/ (Fluorescent Light 2)/ (Fluorescent Light 3)
Fluorescent Light 1: Adjust for white fluorescent lighting. Fluorescent Light 2: Adjust for natural white fluorescent lighting. Fluorescent Light 3: Adjust for day white fluorescent lighting.

n (Incandescent)

(Flash)

Adjusts for the flash conditions.
You cannot select this item when shooting movies.
For details on the white balance, see page 9. Under fluorescent lights that flicker, the white balance function may not work correctly even though you select [Fluorescent Light 1], [Fluorescent Light 2], [Fluorescent Light 3]. Except in [Flash] modes, [White Bal] is set to [Auto] when the flash strobes.
Flash Level: Adjusting the amount of flash light
Adjusts the amount of flash light.

() (Normal) (+)

To change flash mode, see page 24.
Toward : Makes the flash level lower.
Toward +: Makes the flash level higher.
Red Eye Reduction: Reducing the red-eye phenomenon
The flash strobes two or more times before shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon when using the flash.

(Auto) (On) (Off)

Reduces the red-eye phenomenon whenever necessary, only when using the Face Detection Function. The flash always strobes to reduce the red-eye phenomenon. Does not use Red Eye Reduction.
Because it takes about a second until the shutter clicks, hold the camera firmly to prevent the effects of vibration. Also, do not let the subject move. Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired effects depending on individual differences, the distance to the subject, if the subject does not see the pre-strobe, or other conditions. In such a case, you can correct the red-eye phenomenon using [Retouch] in the viewing menu after shooting (page 52). When the Face Detection function is not used, the Red Eye Reduction will not function even when [Auto] is selected.

SteadyShot: Selecting the anti-blur mode
Selects the anti-blur mode.

AF Illuminator

The AF illuminator supplies fill light to focus more easily on a subject in dark surroundings. The AF illuminator emits red light allowing the camera to focus easily when the shutter button is pressed halfway, until the focus is locked. The indicator appears at this time.

Auto Off

Uses the AF illuminator. Does not use AF illuminator.
If the AF illuminator light does not reach the subject sufficiently or the subject has no contrast, focus will not be achieved. (A distance of up to approximately 3.5 m (11 feet 5 7/8 inches) (zoom: W) / 2.5 m (8 feet 2 1/2 inches) (zoom: T) is recommended.) (DSC-W90)/(A distance of up to approximately 2.5 m (8 feet 2 1/2 inches) (zoom: W) / 2.0 m (6 feet 6 3/4 inches) (zoom: T) is recommended.) (DSC-W80/W85) Focus is achieved as long as the AF illuminator light reaches the subject, even if the light is slightly off the center of the subject. When Focus preset is set (page 42), AF Illuminator does not function. When you use AF illuminator, the normal AF range finder frame is disabled and new AF range finder frame is displayed by a dotted line. AF operates with priority on subjects located near the center of the frame. The AF illuminator does not operate when (Twilight mode) or (Landscape mode) is selected in the Scene mode. The AF illuminator emits very bright light. Although there are no problems with safety, do not look directly into the AF illuminator emitter at close range. When [Face Detection] is set to [On], AF Illuminator does not function.
