ISO Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the more effective it is to shoot in dark places or moving subjects, but
the image taken will appear slightly grainy.
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 64 in bright places; in dark places the camera automatically raises
sensitivity to a maximum of ISO SOO.lf
Auto
is set when
M
is selected with the mode
dial, the ISO sensitivity is fixed to 64.
High ISO sensitivity auto
The ISO sensitivity is set automatically within the range of ISO 64 to 1600 according
to the brightness of the subject. If
High ISO sensitivity auto
is set when
M
is
selected with the mode dial, the ISO sensitivity is fixed to 64.
Fixed range auto
Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from
ISO
64-100
(default setting),
ISO 64-200, or ISO 64-400.
The camera will not raise
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. If
Fixed range auto
is set when
M
is selected with the mode dial, the ISO
sensitivity is fixed to 64.
