ISO: You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures. The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers. This is available only in Auto or Manual mode.

Selecting an ISO Sensitivity

1. Press the +/- button, and the use the UP button to select

the ISO icon(

). The ISO menu bar will appear as

shown.

 

2. Use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to select the desired

ISO sensitivity value.

- AUTO

: The camera's sensitivity is

 

automatically changed by variables

 

such as lighting value or subject brightness.

-100, 200, 400 : You can increase the shutter speed while 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 is 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.

3.When you press the +/- button again, the value you set will be saved and ISO setup mode will end.
