Optimising the ISO sensitivity for the shutter speed and aperture value
When the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO], the camera sets the ISO sensitivity
automatically so that the exposure will be appropriate for the shutter speed and aperture
value.
• Depending on recording conditions, an appropriate exposure may not be set or the ISO
sensitivity may become higher.
