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 choose from the following ISO settings:

AUTO, ISO 64, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800, and 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.

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