The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing capturing darker subjects.

Also, a higher sensitivity allows higher shutter speeds, resulting in the picture with less camera shake and subject blur in comparison to the same subject taken under the same brightness.

Although high ISO sensitivity settings are suited to pictures of subjects taken under dim lighting, those taken without flash, or those taken at telephoto setting, high sensitivity settings are often associated with “noise”- randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels- concentrated in dark portions of images.

sAuto (default setting)

Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600.

Fixed range auto

Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from ISO 80-400or ISO 80-800. The camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the maximum value in the selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.

80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200

Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.

BNotes on ISO Sensitivity

There are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings that Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously” (A 78) for more information.

When the ISO sensitivity setting is set to any option other than Auto, Motion detection (A 155) is disabled.
