Smaller f-stop numbers indicate a larger lens opening; good for portraits and low-light conditions.

P and M Options

White—selectable

Grey-non-selectable

Yellow—changeable value

Red—out of range

Larger f-stop numbers indicate a smaller lens opening; keeps the main subject sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions.

Shutter speed—control how long the shutter stays open.

Exposure Compensation—adjust the exposure; good for controlling backlit or non-standard scenes. If the picture is too light, decrease the setting; if it's too dark, increase the setting.

ISO speed—adjust the camera's sensitivity to light. Higher ISO indicates greater sensitivity. ISO 8000 is available only in 3.1 MP and lower picture size.

NOTE: A higher ISO may produce unwanted grain or "noise" in a picture.

Focus mode—select a large or concentrated area of focus.

Focus mode		Description
AF	Normal AF	Focus setting for general picture-taking.
	Macro	Sharpness and detail in pictures at close range. Use available light instead of flash, if possible. The camera automatically sets the focus distance depending on the zoom position. The close-up distances are: Wide angle: 7.9–27.6 in. (0.2–0.7 m) Telephoto: 19.7–39.4 in. (0.5–1.0 m)
