Adjusting the ISO Speed

Shooting Mode

Raise the ISO speed to use a fast shutter speed when you wish to reduce the effects of camera shake or avoid blurry subjects, or to turn the flash off when shooting in a dark area.

1 Press the

 

button and switch settings.

 

 

Cycle through the / / / / / / speeds with

each press of the button.

Selecting (Auto) sets the optimal ISO speed according to the light level when shooting. Since the ISO speed setting will automatically be raised in dark places, the camera will select a faster shutter speed and reduce the chances of camera shake.

Selecting (High ISO Auto)* sets the sensitivity to a

higher value than the setting. This sets the shutter speed faster, reducing the potential for camera shake or

blurry subjects compared with the setting.

* Noise in the recorded image may be higher than for the

 

 

setting.
