Note: The option you set is active from shot-to- shot; it resets to its default setting when you cycle the power on the camera.

Figure 38: ISO Speed Submenu

ISO Speed Submenu

Use the ISO Speed submenu to set the ISO speed. Similar to film, slower ISO speeds require longer exposures, but produce higher quality images. In contrast, faster ISO speeds allow for shorter exposures, but produce noisier images. You can select from these setting options:

ŠAuto (Default) − The camera automatically determines the best ISO speed for the scene.

Š100

Š200

The ISO Speed submenu is only available for Auto and Aperture Priority exposure modes. When the exposure mode is set to Landscape Program, Portrait Program, Action Program, or Shutter Priority, the ISO Speed submenu is grayed-out and the ISO Speed is set to Auto.
