Changing Sensitivities (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.

For higher or lower sensitivity, you can select from the following six levels:

AUTO, ISO64, ISO100, ISO200, ISO400, ISO800, ISO1600

A digital camera can automatically vary the sensitivity according to the distance, brightness, zoom, and macro (AUTO). Usually use your camera in the AUTO mode.

To change the setting, use either the Shooting Setting menu or the ADJ. button. This section explains easy ways with the ADJ. button.

When using the Shooting Setting menu, see “Using the Shooting Setting Menu” ( P.61).

1. Turn the mode dial to 5 or A/M.

2. Press the ADJ. Button three times.

The ISO Sensitivity menu appears.

3. Press the !" buttons to select an ISO setting.

You can also press the shutter button in this state.

4. Press the O button.

The setting of ISO sensitivity is completed and the LCD monitor displays the set values.

This setting will be used for shooting until you change it.

Note

In Wide-angle Zoom mode, when the ISO Sensitivity is set to Auto, the sensitivity is equivalent to ISO160 with flash or ISO100 without flash.
