ISO

This sets the sensitivity of the sensor for capturing photos to compensate for various lighting situations. When the sensitivity is raised (and the ISO value is increased), photography in dark or dim lit locations are improved. However, this may result in a more pixelated (grainier) photo.

Use a higher ISO setting in dim conditions and a lower ISO setting in brighter conditions. Read the text at the top to assist in determining the desired result.

Available settings are: Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 <3M>, 6400 <3M>.

If the Stabilizer is enabled, ISO is automatically set to Auto and cannot be adjusted.

To adjust ISO disable Stabilizer first.

Metering

The Metering function allows adjustment to select the area of the subject or frame by which the camera measures light to record still images or video.

As adjustments to the settings are made, the LCD screen synchronously displays the image applying the

metering settings. Press the OK button to save and apply changes.

Below is a table with a description of the different settings.
