Z: Changing the ISO SpeedN

ISO [AUTO]

 

If the ISO speed is set to [AUTO], the

 

actual ISO speed to be set will be

 

displayed when you press the shutter

 

button halfway. As indicated below, the

 

ISO speed will be set automatically to

 

suit the shooting mode.

Fixed at ISO 100

With flash

Fixed at ISO 400*3*4

*1: Fixed at ISO 400 for bulb exposures.

*2: Depends on the maximum ISO speed limit set.

*3: If fill flash results in overexposure, ISO 100 or a higher ISO speed will be set.

*4: If bounce flash is used with an external Speedlite in a Basic Zone (except <6>) mode, <d> or <8> mode, ISO 400 - 1600 (or up to the maximum limit) will be set automatically.

When [AUTO] is set, the ISO speed is indicated in whole-stop increments. However, the ISO speed is actually set in finer increments. Therefore, in the image’s shooting information (p.226), you may find an ISO speed like 125 or 640 displayed as the ISO speed.

In the <2> mode, the ISO speed shown in the table is actually used even if ISO 100 is not displayed.

3Setting the Maximum ISO Speed for ISO AutoN

For ISO Auto, you can set the maximum ISO speed limit within ISO 400 - 6400.

Under the [y] tab, select [ISO Auto], then press <0>. Select the ISO speed, then press <0>.
