Modifying Sensitivity from a Menu: Sensitivity
The sensitivity menu mirrors the sensitivity (ISO
equivalency) value set with the
1 button in
combination with the zoom button (p. 53). As with
the
1 button, sensitivity can be set to AUTO,
100, 200 or 400. Choosing a new sensitivity value
from the “Sensitivity” sub-menu changes the
value selected with the
1 and zoom button, while changing the
sensitivity value with the 1 button changes the value selected in the
“Sensitivity” sub-menu.

Note on minimum aperture
Filter is applied to adjust the light entering the camera when the aperture is set
to its minimum with the COOLPIX4300. Because of this, the minimum aperture
setting may not yield wider depth-of-field as expected from the aperture value
displayed in the monitor.
If the aperture you have selected would result in the picture being over- or
under-exposed, the aperture value displayed in the monitor will flash when the
shutter release button is pressed halfway.
