HOME items

Pressing HOME button displays the following items. Details on the items are displayed on the screen by the guide.

On the Exposure Bracket

The focus and white balance are adjusted for the first image, and these settings are also used for the other images. When the exposure is manually adjusted (page 41), the exposure is shifted based on the adjusted brightness. The recording interval is approximately 0.5 seconds (DSC-W90) or 0.4 seconds (DSC-W80/W85). If the subject is too bright or too dark, you may be unable to shoot properly with the selected bracket step value. You may not be able to shoot images in the Exposure Bracket mode depending on the Scene Selection mode (page 28).
Color Mode: Changing the vividness of the image or adding special effects
You can change the brightness of the image, accompanied by effects.

(Normal)

(Vivid)
Sets the image to bright and deep color.

(Natural)

Sets the image to quiet color.

(Sepia)

Sets the image to sepia color.

(B & W)

Sets the image to monochromatic color.
You can select only [Normal], [Sepia] or [B & W] when shooting movies.
ISO: Selecting a luminous sensitivity

Low ISO sensitivity

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)
Spot metering cross hairs Positions on the subject
For details on the Exposure, see page 8. When using spot metering or center-weighted metering, setting [Focus] to [Center AF] is recommended to focus on the metering position (page 42).
Focus: Changing the focus method
You can change the focus method. Use the menu when it is difficult to get the proper focus in auto focus mode.

(Multi AF)

Focuses on a subject in all ranges of the finder frame automatically.
This mode is useful when the subject is not in the center of the frame.
AF range finder frame (Only for still image) AF range finder frame indicator
(Center AF) (Only for still image)
Focuses on a subject in the center of the finder frame automatically.
Using together with the AF lock function lets you shoot in the desired image composition.
AF range finder frame AF range finder frame indicator
(Spot AF) (Only for still image)
Focuses on an extremely small subject or a narrow area automatically.
Using together with the AF lock function lets you shoot in the desired image composition. Hold the camera steady not to misalign the subject and the AF range finder frame.
0.5 m 1.0 m 3.0 m 7.0 m (unlimited distance)
Focuses on the subject using a previously set distance to the subject. (Focus preset)
When shooting a subject through a net or through window glass, it is difficult to get the proper focus in auto focus mode. In these cases, use of [Focus] is convenient.
AF stands for Auto Focus. Distance setting information in Focus Preset is approximate. If you point the lens up or down, the error increases. When you use Digital Zoom or AF illuminator, the normal AF range finder frame is disabled and a new AF range finder frame is displayed by a dotted line. In this case, the priority of AF movement is given to subjects around the center of the frame.
z If the subject is out of focus When shooting with the subject at the edge of the frame (or the screen), or when using [Center AF] or [Spot AF], the camera may not focus on a subject at the edge of the frame.
