[Auto Bracket]
[ISO-BKT] can be selected. With the value set for the ISO sensitivity setting
in the shooting menu as the standard, 3 images can be shot with differing
ISO settings; one at -1/3EV of the standard (set) value, one at the standard
(set) value, and one at +1/3EV of the standard (set) value.
Caution ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since shooting is performed within the ISO sensitivity range that can be set,
the bracketing range may not be 1/3EV or an image may be shot with the
same settings, depending on the [ISO Setting].
[Interval Shooting]
The number of shots to be taken can be set. When this is set, the “remaining
number of shots”is displayed during shooting.
The shooting interval can be set to a minimum of 2 seconds, and the
number of shots to be taken can be set to a maximum of 99 shots.
ꢀꢆ
[Noise Reduction]
Perform noise reduction from [Off], [Auto], [Weak], [Strong], or [MAX]. The
time required to record images varies with the option selected.
Caution ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You cannot use this function when [Portrait], [Sports], [Miniaturize], [High
Contrast B&W], [Soft Focus], [Cross Process], [Toy Camera], or [Skew Correct
Mode] is selected in the scene modes.
[White Balance]
You can select [Incandescent Lamp1] or [Incandescent Lamp2].
Using [Incandescent Lamp2] will leave a slightly redder tint compared to
[Incandescent Lamp1].
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• When [Incandescent Lamp2] is selected, images will be shot with the
same color shades as with the [Incandescent] setting described in the
Camera Body User Guide.
ꢀꢇ
• If the flash (GF-1) is fired using DISP. in [Manual], the white balance will be
set to the metering results calculated when the flash went off.
[ISO Setting]
[Auto], [Auto-Hi], [ISO-LO], [ISO 200] to [ISO 3200] can be selected.
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• [ISO-LO] is equivalent to ISO 100. However, the dynamic range gets
narrower and the higher brightness levels make whiteout more likely to
occur.
• When [Auto] is selected and the flash is used, the sensitivity used will gain
up to ISO 800 equivalent.
• The step setting for ISO can be selected in [ISO Step Setting] (GP. 38) in
the setup menu.
• When [Auto] is selected and the flash is not used, the minimum and
maximum values for the ISO sensitivity will be ISO 200 and ISO 400.
ꢁ0
[Focus Assist]
The shape outlines and contrast of the images shown on the picture display
are intensified, making it easier to adjust the focus.
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• When focusing manually, the intensification of the shape outline or
contrast will be released by pressing the shutter button halfway.
• You can select the display method for Focus Assist from [Focus assist
selection] in the setup menu. (GP. 41)
ꢁ1
[Dynamic Range Compensation]
The camera captures a wide range of tones from dark to bright. The
intensity can be selected from [Off], [Weak], [Medium], or [Strong].

• If [Strong] is selected, more noise are likely to occur in images.
• If using the digital zoom, Dynamic Range Compensation has no effect.
• The desired effect may not be achieved if the scene is too bright or too
dark.
ꢁꢀ
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Setting [Multi] for Exposure Metering is recommended when using the
dynamic range compensation function.
• Dynamic range compensation can be applied to a RAW image.
[Shutter Speed Auto Shift]
When the [Shutter Speed Auto Shift] setting in the shooting menu is set to
[On] while the mode dial is set to “S”, the camera will automatically adjust
the shutter speed to obtain the best exposure when it cannot be obtained
using the shutter speed that was set manually.
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
