Sensitivity Settings (ISO

SETTING)

The ISO sensitivity indicates how sensitive to light the film is. A greater value means higher sensitivity. High sensitivity is suitable for shooting an object in a dark place or moving fast and suppresses blurring. However, the images become rough.

A digital camera can automatically vary the sensitivity (AUTO).

Usually use your camera in the AUTO mode.

ISO sensitivity can be selected from seven levels (AUTO, ISO64, ISO100, ISO200, ISO400, ISO800, and ISO1600).

In AUTO mode, the sensitivity is ISO160 with flash or ISO125 without flash. The ISO sensi- tivity can be set by using the ADJ. Button or using the Shooting Menu.

By default, your camera is set to OFF.

When shooting in a dark place without using the flash, raising the sensitivity enables you to give a subject more bright- ness.

If you increase the ISO Sensitivity, it becomes possible to shoot under low light conditions, but your pictures may become grainy. The higher the ISO Sensitivity, the grainier your pictures are likely to become, so it is necessary to exercise caution.

Using the ADJ. Button (ISO Sensitivity)

To change the ISO sensitivity setting using the ADJ. Button, follow the steps below.

1. Turn the mode dial to 5 (Shoot- ing Mode) or A/M (Aperture Pri- ority/Manual Exposure Mode).

2. Press the ADJ. Button three times.

The ISO Sensitivity menu appears.
