X ISO Sensitivity
The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing
capturing darker subjects.
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.

lighting is poor, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity
to a maximum of ISO 1600.

Choose 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.
