Sensitivity

“Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light. Choose from values between L (100) (ISO 100) and H (25600) (ISO 25600). Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at H (25600), while choosing L (100) reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are recommended in most situations. If an AUTO option is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions; the value in parentheses is the maximum sensitivity that will be selected when the subject is poorly lit.

RSensitivity is not reset when the camera is turned off.

R L (100) is reset to ISO 200 and H (12800) and H (25600) are reset to ISO 6400 when RAW, FINE+RAW, or NORMAL+RAW is selected for image quality (P53, 67). For more information on the settings available with L (100), H (12800), and H (25600), see page 116.
