ShootingShooting FunctionsFunctions >> ISO sensitivity

The ISO sensitivity value represents the sensitivity of camera to light.

The larger the ISO value, the more sensitive the camera is to light. Consequently, by selecting a higher ISO sensitivity value, you can capture photos in dim or dark places at faster shutter speeds. However, this may increase electronic noise and result in a grainy photo.

Examples

To set ISO sensitivity,

In Shooting mode, press [m] b ISO an option.

ISO 100

ISO 800

ISO 400

ISO 3200

Increase the ISO value in places where flash use is prohibited. You can capture a clear photo by setting a high ISO value without having to secure more light.

Use the Noise Reduction function in order to reduce the visual noise that can appear on photos of a high ISO value. (p. 134)

Available options may differ depending on the shooting conditions.
