ISO SENSITIVITY

(Video mode)
The ISO setting covers a range between ISO 50 and ISO 50000,
allowing you to adapt to the relevant situation as required.
There is more leeway for the use of preferred shutter speed and
aperture combinations when setting the exposure manually. You can
set priorities within the scope of the automatic setting.
Factory setting:
ISO 100 ISO 100

FIXED ISO VALUES

ISO values between 50 and 50000 can be selected in 11 incre-
ments.

Note
• When high ISO values are used or the image is edited later, image
noise, as well as vertical and horizontal stripes may become visi-
ble, particularly in larger, evenly lit areas of the object.

AUTOMATIC SETTING

The camera automatically adjusts the sensitivity to ambient bright-
ness and/or to the configured shutter speed/aperture settings com-
bination. In conjunction with aperture priority mode, this function
extends the range for automatic exposure control.

FLOATING ISO

This function complements Auto ISO. Light strength changes with
many zoom lenses when the focal length is changed. Floating ISO
will in this situation adjust the sensitivity in fine graduations and will
simultaneously ensure that the selected settings of aperture value
and shutter speed remain constant in (semi) automatic exposure
modes. This will specifically in video shootings prevent visible jumps
in brightness.
