nAbout ISO (intelligent ISO sensitivity control) The camera detects movements of the subject near the center of the frame and sets the optimum ISO sensitivity and shutter speed according to the movements and brightness.

• When shooting a moving subject indoors, you can reduce blur by raising ISO sensitivity and increasing the shutter speed.

and auto bracket (P49) when [ ISO ] is selected.

•Even when [ ISO ] is selected, brightness or the subject’s moving speed may cause pictures to blur.

–When the moving subject is too small

–When the moving subject is on the edge of the frame

–In case the subject began to move the moment you pressed the shutter button fully
