ISO Sensitivity [SENSITIVITY]

ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity to light in values. If you set the ISO sensitivity higher, the camera becomes more suitable for recording in dark places.

•When setting to [AUTO], the ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted from [ISO80] to [ISO200] according to the brightness. (It can be adjusted from [ISO100] to [ISO400] when using the flash. However, it is fixed to [ISO100] when the flash mode is set to Slow sync./

Red-eye reduction [ ].)

•In motion image mode [ ] or scene mode (P58), ISO sensitivity is fixed to

[AUTO]. (In [NIGHT SCENERY] and [FIREWORKS] in scene mode, it is fixed to [ISO100], and in [PANNING], it is fixed to [ISO80].)

•You cannot select [AUTO] in Aperture-priority AE, Shutter-priority AE and Manual exposure mode.

•To avoid picture noises, we recommend reducing the ISO sensitivity, setting [NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ] to [HIGH] or setting the items except [NOISE REDUCTION] to [LOW] to take pictures. (P75)

•Refer to P55 for the shutter speed.
