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.”

Select from the following five levels and press .

Noise Reduction

When raising sensitivity, “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly colored pix- els may appear in pictures. In this case, noise in pictures taken at slow shutter speeds will be reduced automatically when Noise reduction ( 95) is On.

Auto

Unless the setting is Auto, a selected ISO value is dis- played in the monitor whenever sensitivity is raised. An icon will appear at Auto setting when the camera has automatically changed sensitivity.
