ISO is a measure of sensitivity to light. The
higher the sensitivity is set, the less light is
needed to take a picture so the camera
becomes more suitable for recording in
dark places.
• When setting to [AUTO], the ISO
sensitivity is automatically adjusted to a
maximum of [ISO200] according to the
brightness. (It can be adjusted to a
maximum of [ISO400] when using the
flash.)
w About [ ] (Intelligent ISO
sensitivity control)
The camera detects the movement of the
subject near the center of the screen and
then sets the optimal ISO sensitivity and
shutter speed according to the movement
and the brightness of the subject.
• Jitter is avoided when taking pictures
indoors of a moving subject by increasing
the ISO sensitivity and making the shutter
speed faster.
• Noise is avoided when taking pictures
indoors of a subject with no movement by
decreasing the ISO sensitivity.
• When setting to [ ], the ISO
sensitivity is automatically adjusted to a
maximum of [ISO800] ([ISO400] when
using the flash).
• When you press the shutter button
halfway, [ ]  appears. When you
press the shutter button fully, the shutter
speed is displayed for a while.
