Most digital cameras, up to this time, have had a fixed ISO setting of 100. This means that you need direct sunlight or a flash in order to get a good exposure. One of the things that influenced me to buy this camera was the fact that it has adjustable ISO settings. The ISO on the Epson PhotoPC 750Z can be set to 90, 180, or 360, allowing you to take pictures in lower light levels without having to use the flash.
The pictures below were taken in "fine" mode, with the camera on a tripod. All were taken with the self-timer to avoid camera shake while pressing the shutter. The ambient lighting was a 60-watt bulb behind the camera and a 60-watt bulb around the corner from the area where the objects were set up. I chose some objects with bright primary colors, and others, such as the cookie tin with the Currier and Ives print, for detail.
The purpose of these pictures was to see how they were affected by setting the ISO (sensitivity) to different values. Click any of the thumbnails to see the original unretouched picture as it came from the camera.

The camera also has a "super-fine" mode, with less JPEG compression. Here are pictures taken in that mode, with flash, at ISO 90 and 360.

I took the camera with me to San Francisco, and got these pictures. These weren't done with a tripod; I just took them while in “tourist mode ”.
