Adjusting the ISO Sensitivity

The ISO setting controls the camera’s sensitivity to light. Use a lower ISO setting
in brightly lit scenes, use a higher ISO setting for low-light scenes.

5 Press a

button to highlight the ISO setting you want to use.

m AUTO (default)— when you turn the Mode Dial to P (fully

automatic) the camera selects this option and automatically sets an
ISO speed based on scene brightness. Ideal for general picture taking.

m ISO 100—ideal for daylight still pictures in bright sun, when fine

detail is needed. Great for portraits, or nature scenes. When shooting
in Manual or Aperture Priority modes, the camera applies an ISO
speed of 100.

m ISO 200—ideal for cloudy overcast days. Great when you need extra

speed without sacrificing image quality.

m ISO 400—ideal for dusk, or night pictures when flash is prohibited;

great for pictures at sporting events when you need to stop the action;
and excellent for indoor shots, with or without flash.

When any setting except Auto is selected, the

icon appears in the

Status Display.
