CAMERA SENSITIVITY - ISO
Five camera sensitivity settings can be selected for still images: Auto, 50,
100, 200, 400. The numerical values are based on an ISO equivalent; the
higher the number, the more sensitive the film.
Sensitivity can be changed in section 2 of the recording menu (page 57). This
cannot be changed with movie recording or digital subject programs.
Sensitivity can be assigned to the controller (page 62).
The auto setting automatically adjusts the
camera sensitivity to the light conditions
between ISO 50 and ISO 160. When any
setting other than auto is used, "ISO" and
the set value appear on the LCD monitor.
A specific sensitivity setting can be
selected. As the ISO value doubles, the
camera sensitivity doubles. Like grain in
silver-halide film that increases with
speed, noise increases with the sensitivity
in digital imaging; an ISO setting of 50 has
the least noise and 400 has the most.
Camera Notes
Noise reduction is applied automatically to exposures of one second or
longer. Processing is applied to each image after it is captured. The
processing time varies from image to image; a processing message is
displayed during this period.
FLASH RANGE AND CAMERA SENSITIVITY
Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens'
wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.
