For [Rec] menu setting procedures (17)
Using the [Rec] menu (Continued)
[i.Exposure]
Automatically adjusts contrast and exposure to give more lifelike colors when there is
significant contrast between background and subject.
Recording Mode:
Settings: [LOW]/[STANDARD]/[HIGH]/[OFF]
[LOW], [STANDARD] and [HIGH] indicate the maximum range of correction.
When [i.Exposure] works, the color of changes.
Even if [Sensitivity] is set to [100], when [i.Exposure] is activated, pictures may be taken
at a higher ISO sensitivity than the setting.
[Min. Shtr Speed]
Sets shutter speed to minimum. We recommend using slower shutter speeds to take
brighter pictures in dark locations.
Recording Mode:
Settings: [AUTO] [1/250] [1/125] [1/60] [1/30] [1/15] [1/8] [1/4] [1/2] [1]
Slower shutter speeds allow for brighter pictures but increase risk of jitter, so we
recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
As still pictures may become dark when using faster values such as [1/250], we
recommend that still pictures are taken in bright locations ( flashes red when shutter
button is half-pressed if still picture will be dark).
displayed on screen for settings other than [AUTO].
[i.Resolution]
Super resolution technology can be used to record still pictures with sharper outlines and
clearer resolution. Also, when [i.ZOOM] is set, the zoom ratio can be increased to about
1.3 with almost no deterioration of picture quality.
Recording Mode:
Settings: [ON]/[i.ZOOM]/[OFF]
About i.ZOOM (34)
The setting is fixed to [i.ZOOM] in ([Intelligent Auto] Mode).
The setting is fixed to [ON] in [High Sens.] and [Hi-Speed Burst] Scene Modes, [OFF] in
[Flash Burst] and [Pin Hole] Scene Modes, and [i.ZOOM] in other Scene Modes.
[Quick AF]
Focus is continually aligned according to movement of subject when camera blurring is
small even when shutter button is not pressed. (Increases battery consumption)
Recording Mode:
Settings: [ON]/[OFF]
Focus alignment may take time if zoom is suddenly changed from max. W to max. T, or
if suddenly moving closer to subject.
Press shutter button halfway if focus is difficult to align.
The function will turn [OFF] in the following cases.
In Scene Modes [Night Portrait], [Night Scenery], [Starry Sky] or [Fireworks]
[Quick AF] will not work while AF Tracking is operating.
