Select A (auto) mode M d tab M X ISO sensitivity
Raising the ISO sensitivity reduces the amount of light needed to make an
exposure, allowing pictures to be taken in low light conditions. A higher sensitivity
also allows for faster shutter speeds, reducing blur caused by subject movement
or camera shake.
• High ISO sensitivity settings are useful when taking pictures in dim lighting,
when shooting without a flash, or when using the telephoto setting, but they
may also produce "noise" -- randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels -- in the
dark areas of images.

Notes on ISO Sensitivity
• There are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See "Features That Cannot Be
Applied Simultaneously" (A 64) for more information.
• When the ISO sensitivity setting is set to any option other than Auto, motion detection (A 29) is
disabled.

Sensitivity is ISO 125 when there is sufficient lighting; the
camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of
ISO 800 when lighting is poor.
Limit the camera's automatically adjusted ISO sensitivity range
to between ISO 125 and ISO 400. By limiting the ISO sensitivity
to a maximum of 400, this option moderates the amount of
"grain" that appears in pictures.
Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
