ISO Sensitivity
ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity to
light in values. If you set the ISO sensitivity
higher, the camera becomes more suitable
for recording in dark places.
• When setting to [AUTO], the ISO
sensitivity is automatically adjusted in the
range described below according to the
brightness.
DMC-LZ2: [ISO80] – [ISO200]
DMC-LZ1: [ISO64] – [ISO200]
(It can be adjusted from [ISO100] to
[ISO400] when using the flash.)
