EISO Sensitivity

Set to A(auto) M d (Shooting menu) ME ISO sensitivity

Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity is often associated with “noise” - randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image.

Auto (default setting)

Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800.

High ISO sensitivity auto

ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted within the range between 80 and 1600, depending upon the brightness of the scene.

80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000

Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
