ISO Sensitivity

A(auto) Md(Shooting menu) MISO sensitivity

When ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is needed when taking pictures. Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.

Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting without the flash, shooting with the camera zoomed in, etc., images may contain noise.

Auto (default setting)

Sensitivity is ISO 160 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800 when lighting is dim.

Fixed range auto

Limits the ISO sensitivity to ISO 160-400 when the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity. The camera sets the maximum value for ISO sensitivity to 400 for effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.

160, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200

ISO sensitivity is locked at the specified value.

The icon for the ISO sensitivity setting is displayed in the monitor (A6).

When Auto is selected, the Eicon is not displayed at ISO 160, but is displayed if the ISO sensitivity automatically increases to more than 160 (A34).

When Fixed range auto is selected, U400 is displayed.

BNotes on ISO Sensitivity

This function cannot be used simultaneously with certain functions. See “Camera Settings that Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously” (A87) for more information.

Motion detection (A180) does not function when the ISO sensitivity is set to any setting other than Auto.

CISO Sensitivity Settings

This setting can be set by pressing the dbutton even when using continuous shooting mode

52(A80). A (auto) mode and continuous shooting mode share the same ISO sensitivity setting.

CT1A01(11), COOLPIXS9100BLK, COOLPIXS9100RED, S9100 specifications

The Nikon COOLPIX S9100, available in striking colors like red (COOLPIXS9100RED) and black (COOLPIXS9100BLK), is a compact digital camera designed for photography enthusiasts looking for quality without the bulk of larger equipment. Designed for versatility, the S9100 combines advanced features, technologies, and characteristics to deliver captivating images in various settings.

One of the standout features of the S9100 is its impressive 18x optical zoom NIKKOR lens. This allows users to effortlessly capture stunning close-ups and expansive landscapes with exceptional clarity. The lens has a focal range of 25-450mm, providing versatility for different types of photography, whether you're shooting a bustling city scene or a serene sunset. Additionally, the camera is equipped with Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, which minimizes camera shake and blurriness—essential for those handheld shots in low-light conditions.

At the heart of the S9100 is its 12.1-megapixel Back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor, which contributes to enhanced image quality and performance in varied lighting situations. This powerful sensor ensures that images are not only sharp but also vibrant, with rich colors and details. Coupled with Nikon's EXPEED C2 image processor, shooting fast-moving subjects is a breeze thanks to the camera's capability for rapid burst shooting and minimal lag time.

The S9100 also features a range of Scene Modes and Special Effects, making it easier for users to achieve their desired style without extensive adjustments. These modes optimize settings based on different environments, while effects can add a creative flair to your photography instantly. Furthermore, the camera's Full HD 1080p video recording feature allows users to capture high-quality videos with stereo sound, making it a robust choice for multimedia enthusiasts.

With a bright, 3-inch LCD monitor, framing shots is easy, even in bright sunlight. The camera design is both stylish and functional, featuring a compact body that fits comfortably in your hand or pocket, making it an ideal companion for travel and everyday use. The Nikon COOLPIX S9100 exemplifies a perfect blend of convenience and performance, appealing to photographers of all levels seeking a reliable and feature-rich compact camera.
