ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity to
light in values. If you set the ISO sensitivity
higher, the camera becomes more suitable
for recording in dark places.
• When setting to [AUTO], the ISO
sensitivity is automatically adjusted from
[ISO80] to [ISO200] according to the
brightness. (It can be adjusted from
[ISO80] to [ISO400] when using the flash.)
• In auto mode [ ], motion picture mode
[ ] and scene mode (P69), ISO
sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO]. (In [NIGHT
SCENERY] (P72), [SOFT SKIN] (P73),
[STARRY SKY] (P76) and [PANNING]
(P77) in scene mode, it is fixed to
[ISO80].)
• You cannot select [AUTO] in
Aperture-priority AE, Shutter-priority AE
and Manual exposure mode.
• To avoid picture noises, we recommend
reducing the ISO sensitivity, setting
[NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ.] to
[HIGH] or setting the items except [NOISE
REDUCTION] to [LOW] to take pictures.
(P89)
• Refer to P66 for the shutter speed.
The aspect ratio is the horizontal to vertical
