• When the exposure mode is set to [Program Auto], [Aperture Prior ity], [Shutter Priority], and [ISO] i s set
to [ISO AUTO], ISO is automatically set between ISO200 and ISO3200.
• Y ou can select up to ISO3200 for movie re cording. When you start recording m ovies with an ISO higher
than 3200, ISO becomes 3200 automatically, and returns to the previous value when recording is
finished.
• The [ISO AUTO] setting is not provided in [Manual Expo sure]. If you change the exposure mode to
[Manual Exposure] with the [ISO AUTO] setting, it is switched to 200. Set the ISO acco rding to your

Sets the sensitivity to light of the imaging sensor. Higher
sensitivities enable faster shutter speeds and/or smaller apertures
(larger F-values). The higher the sensitivity, the more image
noise can become visible.
Notes

zAdjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure

Index)

ISO setting (speed) is the sensitivity to light of recording media that incorpor ates an image
sensor that receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on
the ISO setting.
High ISO sensitivity
With high ISO sensitivity, images will be captured with an
appropriate brightness even under insufficient exposure.
However, increasing ISO sensitivity will cause images to
become noisy.
Low ISO sensitivity
You can record smooth images. However, compensation for
low ISO sensitivity will be made by slowing down the shutter
speed. You should take camera shake or movement of subjects
into account, too.
