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 of 3200 (H) and 6400 (H). If AUTO, AUTO (800), or AUTO (400) is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions. The maximum values that will be selected by the camera at settings of AUTO (800) and AUTO (400) are 800 and 400 respectively. At settings of 3200 (H) and 6400 (H), image sizes larger than H(pg. 66) are automatically set to H. Settings that have been altered from the value selected by the user are displayed in yellow. The previous image quality will be restored when another sensitivity is selected.

Settings other than AUTO are shown by an icon in the display.
