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 shooting 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 ( A 6). If Auto is
selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 80, the E icon will be displayed
(
A 29).
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is
off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800 (note
that ISO sensitivity is fixed at 80 in M mode).
80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000
Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
