7: ISO Auto (P, S, A, and M Modes Only)

If Off (the default setting) is selected, ISO sensitivity will remain fixed at the value selected with the ISO button (43) or using the ISO sensitivity option in the shooting menu (83).

If On is selected, ISO sensitivity will automatically be adjusted if optimal exposure can not be achieved at the selected value (flash level is adjusted appropriately). The maximum value for auto ISO sensitivity can be selected using the Max. sensitivity option. In modes P and A, sensitivity will only be adjusted if underexposure would result at the shutter speed selected for Min. shutter speed.

When On is selected, the control panel and viewfinder show ISO-AUTO. When sensitivity is altered from the value selected by the user, these indicators blink and the altered value is shown in the viewfinder (the indicators do not blink if a flash is used.

ISO Auto

Auto ISO control is not available when a value over ISO 1600 is selected for ISO sensitivity. ISO sensitivity can not be set to values over 1600 when On is selected for ISO auto. Foreground subjects may be underexposed in photos taken with the flash at slow shutter speeds, in daylight, or against a bright background. Choose a flash mode other than slow sync or select mode A or M and choose a larger aperture.

Noise is more likely at higher sensitivities. Use the High ISO NR option in the shooting menu to reduce noise ( 83).
