ISO Speed Guide

ISO Speed	Shooting Situation	Flash Range
	(No flash)
100 - 400	Sunny outdoors	The higher the ISO speed,
400 - 1600	Overcast skies or evening time	the farther the flash range
1600 - 6400, H	Dark indoors or night	will extend (p.131).

* High ISO speeds will result in grainy images.

If [8C.Fn II -3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], ISO 100/ 125/160 and “H” (equivalent to ISO 12800) cannot be set (p.255). Shooting in high temperatures may result in grainy pictures. Long exposures can also cause irregular colors in the image.

When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (banding, dots of light, etc.) may become noticeable.

With [8C.Fn I -3: ISO expansion] set to [1: On], “H” (equivalent to ISO 12800) can also be set (p.252).
