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 in the range described below according to the brightness.

DMC-FZ5: [ISO80] – [ISO200]

DMC-FZ4: [ISO64] – [ISO200]

(It can be adjusted from [ISO100] to [ISO400] when using the flash.) (Common to DMC-FZ5/DMC-FZ4)

In simple mode [], motion image mode [ ] or scene mode (P63), ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO]. (In [NIGHT

SCENERY] and [PANNING] in scene mode, it is fixed to [ISO80] (DMC-FZ5)/ [ISO64] (DMC-FZ4).)

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

To avoid picture noise, we recommend decreasing the ISO sensitivity or setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P80)

Refer to P59 for the shutter speed.
