CAMERA SENSITIVITY (ISO)
The sensitivity of the camera can be changed in the manual recording mode with the menu. To change recording modes, see page 34.
On the manual recording menu, select the camera sensitivity setting. See page 36 for menu operation. If a manual ISO setting is selected, an indicator is displayed on the monitor.
Five camera sensitivity settings can be selected with a still image. The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity to the light conditions between ISO 50 and ISO
200.The camera sensitivity can also be specified among ISO 50, 100, 200, and 400. The numerical values are based on
an ISO equivalent. As the ISO value doubles, the camera |
|
sensitivity doubles. Noise increases with the sensitivity in |
|
digital imaging; the ISO setting of 50 has the least noise and |
|
400 has the most. | Manual ISO indicator |

CAMERA SENSITIVITY AND FLASH RANGE
The flash range changes with camera sensitivity. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’
ISO speed | Flash range (wide angle) | Flash range (telephoto) |
AUTO | 0.5m ~ 3.0m (1.6ft ~ 9.8ft) | 0.8m ~ 1.7m (2.6ft ~ 5.6ft) |
50 | 0.5m ~ 1.5m (1.6ft ~ 4.9ft) | 0.8m ~ 0.86m (2.6ft ~ 2.8ft) |
100 | 0.5m ~ 2.1m (1.6ft ~ 6.9ft) | 0.8m ~ 1.2m (2.6ft ~ 3.9ft) |
200 | 0.5m ~ 3.0m (1.6ft ~ 9.8ft) | 0.8m ~ 1.7m (2.6ft ~ 5.6ft) |
400 | 0.5m ~ 4.3m (1.6ft ~ 14.1ft) | 0.8m ~ 2.4m (2.6ft ~ 7.9ft) |
