You use a faster (shorter) shutter speed while the
same amount of light is present, by increasing the ISO
sensitivity amount of light is present, by increasing the
ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be saturated
in high luminance. The higher the ISO value, the higher
the camera’s sensitivity to light and therefore the
greater its capacity to take pictures in dark conditions.
However, the noise level in the image will increase as
the ISO value increases, making the image appear
coarse.
When the ISO 3200 menu is selected, the image size is fi xed to under 3M.
When [Motion Capture] is set, ISO speed will be set to Auto.
[ISO] is enabled only in [Program] or [Manual] mode.
