ISO Setting

ISO sensitivity indicates how sensitive film is to light. A greater value means higher sensitivity. High sensitivity is suitable for shooting an object in a dark place or a fast-moving object while minimizing blurring. When ISO setting is set to [Auto], the camera automatically changes the sensitivity according to the distance, brightness, zoom, macro settings, and picture quality/size. Choose settings other than [Auto] to fix ISO sensitivity at the selected value.

Use the [Maximum ISO for ISO Auto] option in the setup menu (GP.93) to choose the upper limit for auto ISO sensitivity.

If the flash is not used when ISO is set to [Auto], the camera will select an ISO sensitivity between 80 and the value selected for [Maximum ISO for ISO Auto]. If the flash is set to [Auto], the flash will fire if optimal exposure can not be achieved at the sensitivity selected for [Maximum ISO for ISO Auto].

Images shot with a higher sensitivity may appear grainy.

When [Auto] is selected for ISO sensitivity, the ISO value displayed when the shutter release button is pressed halfway may in some instances (for example,

when the flash is used) differ from the value selected when the shutter is released.Note-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
