Changing the ISO Speed

Mode Dial

By raising the ISO speed, you can shoot bright images even in poor lighting conditions. This function is convenient when you want to prevent camera shake, shoot without the flash or shoot with a faster shutter speed in dark conditions.

You can choose from the following speeds: Auto, 50, 100, 200 and 400.

1 Press the button.

zPressing the ISO button successively alternates between AUTO, 50, 100, 200, 400, and back to AUTO.

zYou can shoot the image right after selecting settings by pressing the shutter button. The menu displays again after the shot, allowing you to change the settings easily.

z Higher ISO speeds increase image noise. To take clean images, use as low an ISO speed as possible.

z The [AUTO] setting selects the optimal speed. It will automatically raise the speed when the light from the flash is insufficient to illuminate the subject matter.
