ISO Sensitivity
When ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is needed when taking pictures.
Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even
with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds,
and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.
• Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects,
shooting without the flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may
contain noise.
The current ISO sensitivity setting is indicated by an icon when shooting (
A 6).
• When Auto is selected, the E icon is not displayed at ISO 80, but is displayed
if the ISO sensitivity automatically increases to more than 80.
• When Fixed range auto is selected, U and the maximum value for ISO
sensitivity is displayed.
Select A (auto) mode M d button M A tab M ISO sensitivity
Option Description
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600
when lighting is dim.
Fixed range auto
Select the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO
sensitivity, from ISO 80-400 or ISO 80-800. The camera will not
increase sensitivity beyond the maximum value in the selected
range. Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for effective
control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.
80, 100, 200, 400, 800,
1600, 3200
Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
