Notes
• The larger the number, the higher the noise level.
• When the exposure mode is set to [Program Auto], [Aperture Priority], [Shutter Priority], and [Gain] is
set to [Auto], [Gain] is automatically set between 0 dB and 21 dB.
• The [Auto] setting is not provided in [Manual Exposure]. If you change the exposure mode to [Manual
Exposure] with the [Auto] setting, it is switched to 0 dB. Set the gain according to your shooting
conditions.
Adjusting Gain/ISO Sensitivity (Recommended
z
Exposure Index)
Gain/ISO setting is the sensitivity to light of recording media that incorporates an image
sensor that receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on
the Gain/ISO setting.
Sets the gain automatically.
You can set a larger number, and reduce image blur in dark
locations or of moving subjects by increasing gain.
High Gain/ISO sensitivity
With high Gain/ISO sensitivity, images will be captured with
an appropriate brightness even under insufficient exposure.
However, increasing Gain/ISO sensitivity will cause images to
become noisy.
Low Gain/ISO sensitivity
You can record smooth images. However, the shutter speed
may slow down to compensate for low Gain/ISO sensitivity.
You should take camera shake or movement of subjects into
account, too.
