INTELLIGENT ISO

Camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity and shutter speed according to movement of subject to avoid blurring. Higher ISO sensitivity reduces subject blurring and jitter but can increase interference. Please select maximum ISO sensitivity according to table below.

Set-up: Mode dial → Press ‘MENU/SET’ → Select ‘INTELLIGENT ISO’ (P.20)

	Settings: OFF /	/	/
Setting guide
	Movement of subject		Slow		Fast
ISO sensitivity			Low		High
Shutter speed			Slow		Fast
Interference			Low		High
	Slow-moving subject			Fast-moving subject

REC/PLAY switch:

Shutter speed and ISO sensitivity are displayed in the screen for a few seconds after recording.

If interference becomes noticeable, we recommend reducing the setting, or selecting ‘NATURAL’ in the ‘COLOR MODE’ (P.62).

Blurring may occur depending on brightness, and size, position, and speed of movement of the subject (e.g. if subject is too small, is on edge of picture, or starts moving as soon as shutter button is pressed).
