CAMERA SENSITIVITY - ISO
Five camera sensitivity settings can be selected with a still image: Auto, 50, 100, 200,
400; the numerical values are based on an ISO equivalent; the higher the number, the
more sensitive the camera. Sensitivity can be changed in section 2 of the recording menu
(p. 40). This cannot be changed with movie recording or digital subject programs.
Sensitivity can be assigned to the controller (p. 45).
The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity to the
light conditions between ISO 50 and ISO 160. When any other
setting 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 1/2 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.
