Specifying ISO Sensitivity (ISO)
ISO sensitivity is a measure of sensitivity to light.
1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
2.Use [8] and [2] to select the second control panel option from the top (ISO Sensitivity).
3.Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want and then press [SET].

•In the S (shutter speed priority) mode, ISO sensitivity always operates according to its “AUTO” setting. The ISO sensitivity setting cannot be changed while in the S mode.
•The current ISO sensitivity setting is used when shooting a movie in the M (manual exposure) mode.
•“S Image AS” (page 95) can be used only when the ISO sensitivity setting is “AUTO”.
•An ISO setting of ISO 400 or greater is not supported when the “Image Size” setting is “RAW+”. If the ISO setting is “ISO 400” or greater when you change the “Image Size” setting to “RAW+”, an ISO setting of “ISO 200” will be used for recording.
•Higher ISO sensitivity values tend to result in digital noise in images.
•Since higher ISO sensitivity values tend to result in digital noise in images, the camera performs a noise filtering process. Because of this, it may take relatively longer for the camera to finish recording an image after it is shot. You will not be able to perform any key operation while image recording is in progress.
