Canon PowerShot SX540 HS Manual

70

Before shooting, excessively bright or dark image areas (such as faces or 

backgrounds) can be detected and automatically adjusted to the optimal 

brightness. Insufficient overall image contrast can also be automatically 

corrected before shooting to make subjects stand out better.

 

●

Press the [

] button, choose 

[i-Contrast] on the [ ] tab, and then 

choose [Auto] (= 29).

 

●

Once the setting is complete, [ ] is 

displayed.

 

●

Under some shooting conditions, correction may be inaccurate or 
may cause images to appear grainy.

 

●

You can also correct existing images (= 103).

When the ISO speed setting is [AUTO], ISO speed is set automatically to 

suit the shooting mode and conditions. The higher the ISO speed value is, 

the more sensitive it is, the lower the ISO speed, the less sensitive it is.

 

●

Press the [ ] button, press the [ ][ ] 

buttons to choose an option, and then 

press the [ ] button.

 

●

The option you configured is now 

displayed.

 

●

To view the automatically determined ISO speed when you have 
set the ISO speed to [AUTO], press the shutter button halfway.

 

●

Although choosing a lower ISO speed may reduce image 
graininess, there may be a greater risk of subject and camera 
shake in some shooting conditions.

 

●

Choosing a higher ISO speed will increase shutter speed, which 
may reduce subject and camera shake and increase the flash 
range to reach up to the distant objects; however, in this case, 
images will look grainy.
