Chapter 6

ISO sensitivity (Cont.)

● Higher ISO settings can produce more electrical noise.

● ISO is standardized based on the sensitivity of normal camera film. The

scale is approximate.

● When ISO is set to AUTO and you are shooting in dark conditions without a

flash, ISO automatically increases; otherwise the shutter speed will be
reduced, possibly resulting in blurred images due to camera movement.

● If a subject is too far away for the flash illumination to reach it when the ISO

is set to AUTO, the ISO is automatically increased.

● When using slow synchronization in the P, A or S mode, the slowest

available shutter speed varies depending on the ISO setting.

Note

Exposure compensation

This function allows you to make fine changes to the present exposure
setting. In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that
the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust
between +/–2.0 in 1/3 steps. When the setting is changed, you can check the
result on the monitor.
