[ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600] :

the same amount of light is present, by

 

 

increasing the ISO sensitivity. However, the

 

 

image may be saturated in high luminance.

 

 

The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light and therefore the greater its capacity to take pictures in dark conditions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.

ÄWhen [Motion Capture] is set, ISO speed will be set to Auto.

Ä[ISO] is enabled only in [Program] or [Photo Help Guide] mode.
