Sensitivity

Sensitivity (ISO equivalency) is a measure of how quick-
ly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity,
the less light needed to make an exposure. Much as
fi lm with a high ISO rating tends to produce “grainy”
images, high sensitivities may however be associated
with “noise”—randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels
concentrated in dark parts of the image.

Option

50

Approximately equivalent to ISO 50. Recommended unless lighting is poor
or faster shutter speeds are required (e.g., when the subject is moving).
Noise may appear in pictures taken at settings above this value.

100

Approximately equivalent to ISO 100.

Description

200

Approximately equivalent to ISO 200.

400

Approximately equivalent to ISO 400.

Auto

Equivalent to 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor, however,
camera compensates by raising sensitivity. ISO icon displayed in monitor
when sensitivity is raised.
