ISO SENSITIVITY

The ISO setting covers a range between ISO 50 and ISO 100 000,
allowing you to adapt to the relevant situation as required.
There is more leeway for the use of preferred shutter-speed/ap-
erture combinations when choosing an automatic ISO setting. You
can set priorities within the scope of the automatic setting, e.g. for
reasons of pictorial composition.
Factory setting:
Auto ISO

FIXED ISO VALUES

Values between ISO 50 and ISO 100,000 can be selected in 34 lev-
els. Manual ISO settings are initially done in 1/3 EV steps.

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.
