Iso Sensitivity - Nikon COOLPIX 56200 Quick Start Manual

ISO Sensitivity

Select A (auto) mode M d button M A tab M ISO sensitivity
When ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is needed when taking pictures.
Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even
with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds,
and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.
• Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects,
shooting without the flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may
contain noise.

Notes About ISO Sensitivity
• Some settings cannot be used with other functions (A 65).
• Motion detection (E62) does not function when the ISO sensitivity is set to any setting other
than Auto.
The Shooting Menu (for A (Auto) Mode)
Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600
when lighting is dim.
Select the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO
sensitivity, from ISO 80-400 or ISO 80-800. The camera will not
increase sensitivity beyond the maximum value in the selected
range. Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for effective
control over the amount of "grain" that appears in images.
Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
