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 the settings other than Auto, the current setting is displayed in the monitor
(
A 9). If Auto is selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 64, E icon will
be displayed ( A 31). When High ISO sensitivity auto is selected, V is
displayed.

ISO 3200
• When 3200 is selected for ISO sensitivity, Image mode indicator is displayed in red during
shooting.
• When ISO sensitivity is set to 3200, Image mode cannot be set to h High (3648P),
i Normal (3648), or l 16:9 (3584). At an image mode setting of h High (3648P) or
i Normal (3648), selecting 3200 for ISO sensitivity automatically switches the image mode
setting to L Normal (2592). At an image mode setting of l 16:9 (3584), selecting 3200 for
ISO sensitivity automatically switches the image mode setting to m 16:9 (1920). When any
option other than 3200 is selected for ISO sensitivity, the last image mode setting applied is
restored.
• At an ISO sensitivity setting of 3200, the Multi-shot 16 (A 121) option of the continuous
shooting mode is not available. At a Continuous setting of Multi-shot 16, selecting 3200 for
ISO sensitivity switches the Continuous setting to Single. The Continuous setting does not
change even when ISO sensitivity is set to any option other than 3200.
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 64 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is
off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800.
High ISO sensitivity auto
ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted within the range between 64 and 1600,
depending upon the brightness of the scene.
64,100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000, 3200
Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
