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 64 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is
off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1000.
64,100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000
Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
At the settings other than [Auto], the current setting is displayed in the monitor
(A 6). If [Auto] is selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 64, the E icon will
be displayed (A 29).
