ISOSensitivity
'%0 sensitivity"
is the digital equivalent
of film speed. Choose from settings that
range from a value roughly equivalent
to ISO 100 to one roughly equivalent
to ISO
6400 in steps equivalent
to 1/3 EV. For special situations,
ISO sensitivity can be raised
above ISO 6400 by from about 0.3 EV (Hi 0.3, equivalent
to ISO 8000) to about 2 EV
(Hi 2, equivalent
to ISO 25600). Auto and scene modes also offer an AUTO option,
which allows the camera to set ISO sensitivity automatically
in response to lighting
conditions.
The higher the ISO sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure,
allowing
higher shutter speeds or smaller apertures.
ISO sensitivity can be adjusted
by
pressing the ISObutton
and rotating the
main command
dial until the desired
setting
is displayed in the control panel
or viewfinder.
