Custom Setting 31: ISO Boost

This setting is used to raise sensitivity (ISO equivalency) roughly one to two steps (1–2 EV) above the maximum setting, which is approximately equivalent to IS0 1600. This option is inde-

ter speeds at night-time sporting events, for example, or to

prevent underexposure when photographing poorly-lit subjects. Note, however, that sensitivity boost increases the amount of “noise” (a mottling effect similar to the effects of grain in high-speed film) that appears in the final photograph.
