Advanced (Recording pictures)

Note

When setting to [AUTO], the ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted to a maximum of [ISO400] according to the brightness. (It can be adjusted to a maximum of [ISO1000] when using the flash.)

The sensitivity automatically switches to between [ISO1600] and [ISO6400] in [HIGH SENS.] in Scene mode.

• The setting is not available when [INTELLIGENT ISO] is being used. ([ ] is displayed.)

To avoid picture noise, we recommend that you either reduce the maximum ISO sensitivity level or set [COLOR MODE] to [NATURAL], and then take pictures. (P65)
