AISO Sensitivity Settings

The settings available depend on the option selected for Custom Setting b1 ([ISO sensitivity step value], pg. 314).

*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 2

The settings [Hi 0.3] through [Hi 2] correspond to ISO sensitivities 0.3–2 EV over ISO 1600 (ISO 2000–6400 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 100 (ISO 80–50 equivalent). Use for larger apertures when lighting is bright. Contrast is slightly higher than normal; in most cases, ISO sensitivities of ISO 100 or above are recommended.
