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-LZ2: [ISO80] – [ISO200]

DMC-LZ1: [ISO64] – [ISO200]

(It can be adjusted from [ISO100] to [ISO400] when using the flash.) (Common to DMC-LZ2/DMC-LZ1)

•In simple mode [], motion image mode [ ] or scene mode (P56), ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO]. (In [NIGHT

SCENERY] in scene mode, it is fixed to [ISO80] (DMC-LZ2)/[ISO64] (DMC-LZ1).)

•To avoid picture noise, we recommend decreasing the ISO sensitivity or setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P68)

When you select a larger picture size, you can print pictures clearly.

When you select a smaller picture size (640k480 pixels), you can record more pictures. In addition, it is convenient to attach the picture to an e-mail or post it on a website because the file size is small.
