* High ISO speeds will result in grainy images.
If [8C.Fn II -3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], ISO 100/
125/160 and "H" (equivalent to ISO 12800) cannot be set (p.255).
Shooting in high temperatures may result in grainy pictures. Long
exposures can also cause irregular colors in the image.

may become noticeable.
With [8C.Fn I -3: ISO expansion] set to [1: On], "H" (equivalent to ISO
12800) can also be set (p.252).
