∫About [ ] (Intelligent ISO sensitivity control)

The camera automatically sets the optimum ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to suit the movement of the subject and brightness of the scene to minimize the jitter of the subject.

•The shutter speed is not fixed when the shutter button is pressed halfway. It is continuously changing to match the movement of the subject until the shutter button is pressed fully. Confirm the actual shutter speed on the information display for the picture being played back.

Note

•The higher the value set for the ISO sensitivity, the more the jitter is reduced but the greater the amount of picture noise.

•Refer to P69 for the flash range.

•Depending on the brightness and how fast the subject is moving, jitter may not be avoided even if [ ] is selected.

•Movements may not be detected when a moving subject is small, when a moving subject is at the edge of the screen or when a subject has moved at the very moment when the shutter button was pressed fully.

•The setting is fixed to [ ] in the following cases.

–In [BABY1]/[BABY2] and [PET] in Scene Mode

–In [INDOOR PORTRAIT], [NORMAL SPORTS], [OUTDOOR SPORTS] and [INDOOR SPORTS] in Advanced Scene Mode

• Program Shift cannot be activated when the ISO sensitivity is set to [ ].

•You cannot select [ ] in Shutter-Priority AE Mode and Manual Exposure Mode. Also, you cannot select [AUTO] in Manual Exposure Mode.

•To avoid picture noise, we recommend reducing the ISO sensitivity, setting [NOISE REDUCTION] in [FILM MODE] towards [_] or setting the items except [NOISE REDUCTION] towards [`] to take pictures. (P92)

•The camera will not be able to operate with 3/4/2/1 if the [DIRECT FOCUS AREA] (P138) is set to [ON]. Set using the Quick Menu (P33).
