Notes on Interval Timer Shooting
• To prevent the camera from turning off unexpectedly during recording, use a fully charged battery.
• Use the optional AC Adapter EH-62F to charge this camera using home electronic outlets. Do not,
under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

See “File and Folder Names” ( A131) for more information.
E ISO Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating is
suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity is
often associated with “noise” -randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels
concentrated in dark parts of the image.
At settings other than Auto, the current setting is displayed in the monitor (
A6).
If Auto is selected and the sensitivity is raised above an ISO 100, the E icon will
be displayed (
A31). If Fixed range auto is selected, U + the maximum value for
ISO sensitivity will be displayed.
Set to A (Auto) M d (Shooting menu) M E ISO sensitivity
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 100 in bright places; in dark places the camera automatically raises
sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600.
Fixed range auto
Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from ISO
100-400 (default setting), or ISO 100-800. The camera will not raise sensitivity
beyond the maximum value in the selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO
sensitivity for effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.
100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400
ISO Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
• When ISO sensitivity is locked, Motion detection (
A120) does not function
even when Auto is selected.
