*If possible, the current ISO sensitivity setting is maintained when the step value is changed. If the current ISO sensitivity setting is not

available at the new step value, ISO sensitivity will be rounded up to the

S

nearest available setting.

AHI 0.3–HI 1

The settings [HI 0.3] through [HI 1] correspond to ISO sensitivities 0.3–1 EV over ISO 3200 (ISO 4000–6400 equivalent). Pictures taken at these settings are more likely to be subject to noise and color distortion.

ALO 0.3–LO 1

The settings [LO 0.3] through [LO 1] correspond to ISO sensitivities 0.3– 1 EV below ISO 200 (ISO 160–100 equivalent). Use for larger apertures when lighting is bright. Contrast is slightly lower than normal; in most cases, ISO sensitivities of ISO 200 or above are recommended.
