as snow, adjust the exposure to +1 or even +2 to
compensate the background brightness. For light subjects
against dark background, use -1 or -2.
Flash mode
—Select the desired flash mode. See ‘Flash’, p.
56.
Colour tone
—Select a color effect from the list.
Light sensitivity
(images only)—Increase the light
sensitivity in low light to decrease the risk of getting
unsharp or too dark images. Higher sensitivity may
increase the graininess of the images.
The screen display changes to match any settings you
make, so that you see how the change affects the pictures
or videos.
The available settings vary depending on the selected
camera.
The setup settings return to the default settings when you
close the camera.
If you select a new scene, the color and lighting settings
are replaced by the selected scene. See ‘Scenes’, p. 57. You
can change the setup settings after selecting a scene if
needed.
