Reference Section

ISO Sensitivity

The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an picture, allowing

capturing darker subjects. Also, a higher sensitivity allows higher shutter speeds,

resulting in the picture with less camera shake and subject blur in comparison to

the same subject taken under the same brightness.

• Although high ISO sensitivity settings are suited to pictures of subjects taken

under dim lighting, those taken without flash, or those taken at telephoto

setting, high sensitivity settings are often associated with “noise” - randomly

spaced, brightly colored pixels- concentrated in dark portions of pictures.

The current ISO sensitivity setting is indicated by an icon when shooting (A 8).

• If Auto is selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 80, the E icon will be

displayed (A 8).

• When Fixed range auto is selected, U and the maximum value of ISO

sensitivity is displayed.

B Notes on ISO sensitivity

• There are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Features That Cannot Be

Applied Simultaneously” (A 63) for more information.

• Motion detection (E 68) does not function when the ISO sensitivity is set to any setting other

than Auto.

B Notes on ISO Sensitivity 3200 and 6400

• When ISO sensitivity is set to 3200 or 6400, Image mode settings are limited to M

2048×1536, N 1024×768, and O 640×480.

• When ISO sensitivity is set to 3200 or 6400, the image mode icon is displayed in red during

shooting.

Option Description

Auto (default setting)

Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting, the

camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of

ISO 800 when lighting is dim.

Fixed range auto

Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts

ISO sensitivity, from ISO 80-200 (default setting) or ISO 80-

400. 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 pictures.

80, 100, 200, 400, 800,

1600, 3200, 6400

Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
