W 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 concen-
trated in dark parts of the image.
[Auto] (default setting) is ISO 100 under normal conditions; when lighting is
poor and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a
maximum of ISO 800. Choose from values between ISO 100 and 1600.
At settings other than [Auto], the current setting is displayed in the monitor
(c 6). If [Auto] is selected and the sensitivity is raised above an ISO 100, the
W icon will be displayed (c 29).
