[Auto] is equivalent to ISO 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maxi- mum of ISO 800 equivalent. Choose from values between ISO 50 and 1600 equivalent.

At settings other than [Auto], the current setting is displayed in the monitor (c 6). If [Auto] is selected and the sensitivity is raised above an ISO 50 equiv- alent, the W icon will be displayed (c 31).
