E 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 settings other than Auto, the current setting is displayed in the monitor ( A 6).
If Auto is selected and the sensitivity is raised above an ISO 100, the E icon will
be displayed (
A 31).
F Color Options
Make colors more vivid or record pictures in monochrome.
At settings other than Standard color, the icon for the current setting is displayed
in the monitor (
A 6). Monitor color tones also change depending upon the
setting.
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 100 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor, the camera
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600.
100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200
Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
When ISO sensitivity is locked, Motion detection (
A 110) does not function even
when Auto is selected for Motion detection.

Use for pictures exhibiting natural color.
o Vivid color
Use to achieve a vivid, “photoprint” effect.
p Black-and-white

q Sepia
