Using the Menus: Shooting Mode

NISO

Control the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at settings above 1600. If AUTO or an option such as AUTO (3200) is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions. In the case of AUTO (3200), AUTO (1600), AUTO (800), and AUTO (400), the value in parentheses is the maximum sensitivity that will be selected when the subject is poorly lit.

Settings other than AUTO are

ISO 100

shown by an icon in the dis- play.
UDYNAMIC RANGE

Control contrast. Higher values are recommended for scenes that include both sunlight and deep shade or for increased contrast when photographing such subjects as sunlight on water, brightly-lit autumn leaves, and portraits taken against a blue sky; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at higher values. If AUTO is se- lected, the camera will automatically select values between 100% and 400% in response to shooting conditions.

1Note

D800% is available only when UDYNAMIC RANGE is selected in O mode and an option other than dVelvia/VIVID or eASTIA/SOFT is selected for PFILM SIMULATION.
