Select A (auto) mode Mdtab MXISO sensitivity

Raising the ISO sensitivity reduces the amount of light needed to make an exposure, allowing pictures to be taken in low light conditions. A higher sensitivity also allows for faster shutter speeds, reducing blur caused by subject movement or camera shake.

•High ISO sensitivity settings are useful when taking pictures in dim lighting, when shooting without a flash, or when using the telephoto setting, but they may also produce “noise” -- randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels -- in the dark areas of images.

Option	Description
sAuto (default setting)	Sensitivity is ISO 125 when there is sufficient lighting; the
	camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of
	ISO 800 when lighting is poor.
	Limit the camera’s automatically adjusted ISO sensitivity range
Fixed range auto	to between ISO 125 and ISO 400. By limiting the ISO sensitivity
	to a maximum of 400, this option moderates the amount of
	“grain” that appears in pictures.
125, 200, 400, 800, 1600,	Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
