The following settings are available:
Using the Flash
A setting of 800 is intended for use with natural lighting. We recommend that
you choose AUTO or a fixed value of 400 or less when using the flash.
Exposure Mode
If sensitivity is set to AUTO in shutter-priority auto or manual exposure modes,
sensitivity will be fixed at ISO 100 equivalent and will not vary with lighting con-
ditions.
AUTO
Equivalent to a setting of 100 under normal conditions; when
lighting is poor, however, camera automatically raises sensi-
tivity to compensate (up to ISO 400). When sensitivity is raised
above a value approximately equivalent to ISO 100, ISO icon
appears in control panel and monitor or viewfinder.
400 Approximately equivalent to ISO 400.
100
Approximately equivalent to ISO 100, recommended except
when lighting is poor or when higher shutter speeds are re-
quired. Noise may appear in pictures taken at settings above
this value.
200 Approximately equivalent to ISO 200.
800
Approximately equivalent to ISO 800. Value is displayed in red
in monitor or viewfinder to indicate that pictures taken at this
setting will likely contain appreciable noise. Use only to cap-
ture natural lighting under low light conditions or when a fast
shutter speed is required. We recommend that Image Sharp-
ening (
114) be turned off to avoid heightening the effects
of noise.
