Custom Setting b1: ISO Auto Control

If On is selected for this option, the camera will automatically adjust sensitiv- ity (ISO equivalency) when necessary to help ensure optimal exposure. This option is not available at sensitivities of HI-1or HI-2.

Highlight b1 ISO auto in the second level of the CSM menu ( 169) and press the multi selector to the right. Press the multi selector up or down to highlight an option, then press to the right to make a selection.

Option Description

Off Sensitivity remains fixed at value selected by user, regardless of whether (default) optimal exposure can be achieved at current exposure settings.

If optimal exposure can not be achieved at sensitivity selected by user, sen- sitivity is adjusted to compensate, to minimum approximately equivalent to On ISO 200 and maximum approximately equivalent to ISO 1600. Sensitivity can not be set to HI-1or HI-2while this option is in effect. Sensitivity re-

mains fixed at value selected by user when flash is used.

When On is selected, the rear control-panel dis- play shows ISO-AUTOand ISO-Aappears in the viewfinder sidebar. These indicators flash when sensitivity is altered from the value selected by the user.

Bank Select

If a shooting menu bank in which ISO has been set to HI-1or HI-2is chosen after On is selected for Custom Setting b1, sensitivity (ISO equivalency) will not be adjusted automatically. Sensitivity will also not be adjusted automatically if a Custom Settings bank in which On is selected for Custom Setting b1 is chosen after ISO has been set to HI-1or HI-2.

Noise is more likely to appear in photographs taken at higher sensitivities. To reduce noise at sensitivities of ISO 800 equivalent and above, turn on the High ISO NR option in the shooting menu.
