On the A (auto) mode shooting screen M d button M ISO sensitivity
The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing
capturing darker subjects. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness,
images can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake
and subject movement can be reduced.
• Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting
without the flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may contain noise.

Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting; the
camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of
ISO 1600 when lighting is dim.
Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts
ISO sensitivity from ISO 8 -
8 . The camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the
maximum value in the selected range. Specify the maximum
ISO sensitivity for effective control over the amount of "grain"
that appears in images.
Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
