ISO Sensitivity

A(auto) Md(Shooting menu) MISO sensitivity

When ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is needed when taking pictures. Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.

•Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting without the flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may contain noise.

Auto (default setting)

Sensitivity is ISO 100 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600 when lighting is dim.

Fixed range auto

Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from ISO 100-400or ISO 100-800. The camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the maximum value in the selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.

100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200

Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.

The icon for the ISO sensitivity setting is displayed in the monitor (A6).

•When Auto is selected, the Eicon is not displayed at ISO 100, but is displayed if the ISO sensitivity automatically increases to more than 100 (A31).
