J[SENSITIVITY]

Setting the light sensitivity

ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity of the image sensor to light. 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 to a maximum of [ISO400] according to the brightness. (When using the flash, the adjustment range becomes a maximum of [ISO1000].)

The ISO sensitivity automatically changes between [ISO1600] and [ISO6400] in [HIGH SENS.] mode.

To avoid picture noise we recommend reducing the ISO sensitivity or setting [COLOR MODE] to [NATURAL].

ISO sensitivity cannot be set when the intelligent ISO is used.

[WHITE BALANCE]

KAdjusting the hue for a more natural picture

This function allows you to reproduce a white colour closer to the tone in real life on the pictures recorded under sunlight, halogen lighting, etc. in which the white colour may appear reddish or bluish.

Select a setting that matches the recording conditions.
