Changing The Sensitivity (Iso Setting) - Ricoh Caplio R6 User Manual

Changing the Sensitivity
(ISO SETTING)
ISO sensitivity indicates how sensitive film is to light. A greater
value means higher sensitivity. High sensitivity is suitable for
shooting an object in a dark place or a fast-moving object while
minimizing blurring.

You can select from the following ISO settings:
AUTO, AUTO-HI, ISO 64, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800,
and ISO 1600.
When ISO setting is set to [AUTO], the camera automatically
changes the sensitivity according to the distance, brightness, zoom,
macro settings, and picture quality/size. Usually, use the camera in
the [AUTO] mode.
When the ISO setting is set to [AUTO-HI] (auto high sensitivity), the
sensitivity is automatically set according to the shooting conditions
but at a higher sensitivity than in [AUTO]. When shooting a dark
subject, the shutter speed set in [AUTO-HI] is faster than in [AUTO],
which may reduce camera shake or blurring of the subject. In
[AUTO-HI], the sensitivity is automatically increased to the ISO
sensitivity set in the SETUP menu. (GP.130)
If you do not want to allow the camera to change the ISO sensitivity,
select an ISO setting other than [AUTO] or [AUTO-HI].
To change the setting, use the shooting setting menu or the ADJ. button. This section
explains easy ways to change the setting with the ADJ. button. You can also change the
function assigned to the ADJ. button. (GP.136)
To use the shooting setting menu, see "Using the Menu" (GP.65).
