Sensitivity

Press MENU button in (auto shooting) mode to select Sensitivity ( 74), and then press .

Sensitivity is a measure of how sensitive the camera re- acts to light. With Auto (default setting), ISO sensitiv- ity automatically increases at low brightness. Setting ISO sensitivity at a high level is effective in preventing

blur when Speedlight is disabled in dark settings or making the subject appear brighter. However, the image may contain “noise” or become “grainy.”
