ISO sensitivity

Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO], which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and then adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.

Choose ISO 100 when reducing noise is more important than enhancing dynamic range.

%Tips

The default value and upper limit for auto ISO sensitivity can be selected using [ISO-AUTO SET] (P. 75).

The options available for ISO sensitivity can be selected using [ISO STEP] (P. 75).

Auto sensitivity can be enabled in Mmode using [ISO-AUTO] (P. 75).

Adjusting color (white balance)

White balance (WB) ensures that white objects in images recorded by the camera appear white. [AUTO] is suitable in most circumstances, but other values can be selected according to the light source when [AUTO] fails to produce the desired results or you wish to introduce a deliberate color cast into your images.
