j [SENSITIVITY]
For details on [REC] menu settings, refer to P 21 .
ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity of the image sensor to light. If you set the ISO
sensitivity higher, the camera becomes more suitable for recording in dark places.
Applicable modes: 1
[i.AUTO]/[80]/[100]/[200]/[400]/[800]/[1600]
ISO sensitivity 80 1600
Recording location (recommended) When it is light (outdoors) When it is dark
Shutter speed Slow Fast
Noise Less More
Note
• When setting to [i.AUTO], the camera detects movement of the subject and then sets the
optimal ISO sensitivity and shutter speed according to movement and brightness of the
subject. When the Digital zoom is [ON], the motion detection does not function.
• The ISO sensitivity automatically changes between [ISO1600] and [ISO6400] in [HIGH SENS.]
mode.
• To avoid picture noise we recommend reducing the ISO sensitivity or setting [COLOR MODE]
to [NATURAL]. (P 77 )
