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 64, 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, macro settings, and 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 the upper limit of the sensitivity can be set higher 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. Set the maximum sensitivity for [Auto-Hi] in the setup menu. (GP.194)

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 menu or the ADJ. lever. This section explains easy ways to change the setting with the ADJ. lever. (GP.72)
