Changing the Sensitivity

(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.

You can select from the following ISO settings:

[AUTO], AUTO-HI, ISO 80, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800, ISO 1600

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. Usually, use the camera in the [AUTO] mode.

When the ISO setting is set to [AUTO-HI] (auto high sensitivity), the sensitivity is automatically set according to the shooting conditions but at a higher sensitivity than in [AUTO]. When shooting a dark subject, the shutter speed set in [AUTO-HI] is faster than in [AUTO], which may reduce camera shake or blurring of the subject. In [AUTO-HI], the sensitivity is automatically increased to the ISO sensitivity set in the SETUP menu. (GP.143)

If you do not want to allow the camera to change the ISO sensitivity, select an ISO setting other than [AUTO] or [AUTO-HI].

To change the setting, use the shooting setting menu or the ADJ. lever. This section explains easy ways to change the setting with the ADJ. lever. You can also change the function assigned to the ADJ. lever. (GP.148)

To use the shooting setting menu, see “Using the Menu”. (GP.79)
