You can reduce image blurring in dark locations or
with moving subjects by increasing the ISO
sensitivity (select a larger number).
Higher ISO settings than [ISO6400] are achieved
using Clear Image technology and overlay burst
shooting.
Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)
ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives light. Even when the
exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity.
High ISO sensitivity
Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter speed to reduce blur.
However, the image tends to become noisy.
Low ISO sensitivity
Records a smoother image.
However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker.
Notes
●
When [ISO] is set to [ISO6400] or [ISO12800], it takes some time to record an image, because the camera overlays the
image. The flash does not operate with these settings.
●
You cannot select [Auto] when the camera is set to Manual Exposure Shooting. [ISO100] is the default setting.
●
You can select only from [Auto], [ISO100] to [ISO800] when the shooting mode is set to burst or bracket shooting mode.
