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. However, the images become grainy.

You can choose from the following six ISO settings: AUTO, ISO 64, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, and ISO 800.

When ISO setting is set to [AUTO], the camera automatically changes the sensitivity according to the distance, brightness, zoom, and macro settings. Usually, use the camera in the [AUTO] mode.

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

1. Switch the Mode Selector to 5.

2. Press the C/Dbutton.

The Shooting Setting menu is displayed.

3. Press the " button to select [ISO SETTING] and press the $ button.

4. Press the !" buttons to select an

ISO setting.

5. Press the C/Dor # button.

6. If you pressed the # button in Step 5, press also the C/D button.

The ISO setting is completed.

The Shooting Setting menu closes and the setting appears on the screen.

The setting is used for shooting until it is changed.

Note

At the Wide-angle zoom setting, when the ISO setting is set to [AUTO], the sensitivity is equivalent to ISO 160 with flash or ISO 100 without flash.
