Northern Industrial Tools P5000 user manual ISO Sensitivity, Aiso

nISO Sensitivity

Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Much as film with a high ISO rating tends to produce “grainy” images, high sensitivities may however be associated with “noise”—randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels concen- trated in dark parts of the image. Choose from values between ISO 64 and ISO 3,200. Auto is equivalent to ISO 64 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising ISO sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800 (note that ISO sensitivity is fixed at 64 in mode M).

The current ISO sensitivity is displayed in the monitor at settings other than Auto (B 4). If Auto is selected, an ISO icon will be displayed when sensitivity is raised above ISO 64.

AISO 3200

Image sizes over 2,592×1,944 (f) are not available at ISO 3200 (B 66). If 3,648×2,736 (j), 3,648×2,432 (h), or 3,584×2,016 (9) is selected for Image size when ISO sensitivity is set to 3200, Image size will automatically be set to 2,592×1,944 (f). The original image size will be restored when a lower ISO sensitivity is selected.

When 3200 is selected for ISO sensitivity, image size is displayed in red and the slowest shutter speed available is 2s.
