ISO Sensitivity
The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the
better its ability to shoot in low-light conditions. However, higher values also
produce more “noise” in the resulting images.
In the top menu, select MODE MENU T CAMERA T ISO, choose the
best one for your shooting conditions from among AUTO, 100, 200 and
400, then press
to complete the setting. To start shooting, press
again.
AUTO : Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the lighting
conditions and the subject brightness.
100/200/400 : 100 is best when you want to shoot clear, sharp images in
daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster shutter
speeds with the same amount of light.
