E Iso Sensitivity; F Color Options - Nikon COOLPIX S203 User Manual

E ISO Sensitivity

Set to A (auto) M d (Shooting menu) M E ISO sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating
is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity
is often associated with "noise" - randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels
concentrated in dark parts of the image.
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is
off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800.
High ISO sensitivity auto
ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted within the range between 80 and 1600,
depending upon the brightness of the scene.
80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000
Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.

is selected.
At the settings other than Auto, the current setting is displayed in the monitor

be displayed (A 29). When High ISO sensitivity auto is selected, V is displayed.
